Theoretical models of neutrino-burst release from collapsing stars are reviewed, and criteria for the design of experiments to detect such bursts are developed. The 'core-bounce' type-II-supernova models of Bethe et al. (1979, 1980, and 1982) are examined in detail and shown to predict neutrino release on three distinct time scales: less than 1 msec (shock-wave breakout), less than 1 sec (inner-core leptonization), and less than 20 sec (hot-star cooling). The types and numbers of neutrinos, emission rates, and detector requirements are calculated and presented in a table. A second table gives the characteristics of the three operating detectors (with energy thresholds less than 20 MeV) capable of observing stellar neutrino bursts: the 500-ton water Cerenkov detector at Homestake; the 330-ton, 3140-module detector at Baksan; and the 100-ton single-module liquid-scintillation detector at Astyomovsk.
