Sensitivity Of Multi-Pmt Optical Modules To Mev Supernova Neutrinos In South Pole Ice
IceCube has proven that its low background environment allows for the detection of MeV neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae (SNe). These neutrinos can reveal the time structure of the evolution of a SN and enhance our picture of these explosions. However, IceCube is not able to reconstruct such n...
