Supernova Constraints on Neutrino Mass and Mixing
arXiv:hep-ph/0104094 · doi:10.1007/s12043-000-0015-3
Abstract
In this article I review the constraints on neutrino mass and mixing coming from type-II supernovae. The bounds obtained on these parameters from shock reheating, r-process nucleosynthesis and from SN1987A are discussed. Given the current constraints on neutrino mass and mixing the effect of oscillations of neutrinos from a nearby supernova explosion in future detectors will also be discussed.
