Search for supernova neutrinos and constraint on the galactic star formation rate with the KamLAND data

S. Abe, S. Asami, M. Eizuka +63

We present the results of a search for core-collapse supernova neutrinos, using long-term KamLAND data from 2002 March 9 to 2020 April 25. We focus on the electron antineutrinos em…

First measurement of the strange axial coupling constant using neutral-current quasielastic interactions of atmospheric neutrinos at KamLAND

KamLAND Collaboration, S. Abe, S. Asami +61

We report a measurement of the strange axial coupling constant using atmospheric neutrino data at KamLAND. This constant is a component of the axial form factor of the neut…
