Supernova Detection in IceCube: Status and Future
The IceCube detector, located at the South Pole, is discussed as a detector for core collapse supernovae. The large flux of $\barν_{e}$ from a Galactic supernova gives rise to Cherenkov light from positrons and electrons created in neutrino interactions which increase the overall count rate of the p...
