Real time supernova neutrino burst detection with MACRO

Astroparticle Physics, Volume 8, No. 3, Year 1998

The MACRO experiment has been running as a supernova neutrino detector since 1989 and is sensitive to the whole galaxy since the beginning of 1992. A galactic supernova would produce some hundreds of v̄e events in the detector. We describe our stellar gravitational collapse online monitors and alarm system, and present the results of a search for neutrino bursts from supernovae during a period of 1.5 yr. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
