We show by two-dimensional and first three-dimensional simulations of
neutrino-driven supernova explosions that low (l=1,2) modes can dominate the
flow pattern in the convective postshock region on timescales of hundreds of
milliseconds after core bounce. This can lead to large global anisotropy of the
supernova explosion and pulsar kicks in excess of 500 km/s.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, contribution to Procs. 12th Workshop on Nuclear
