Scientific paper

OMNIS is a proposed dedicated detector for mu and tau neutrinos from an SN in our Galaxy. The detector will be used to observe the time profile of about 1,000 events and would enable a non-zero mu or tau neutrino mass to be measured through the time-of-flight difference. This measurement, in conjunction with Super-Kamiokande and other detectors, will provide unique information on neutrino mixing effects over Galactic distances. Determination of the three neutrino masses has been of fundamental importance to particle physics and cosmology including the problem of Dark Matter. Strong evidence for the existence of neutrino masses from the current atmospheric neutrino experiments at Super-Kamiokande makes it more compelling to measure the masses directly.
