Scientific paper

In addition to all of the information that the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) will tell us about the neutrinos coming from our own Sun, we can also make use of it's unique flavour sensitivity to search for tell-tale neutrino emissions that would indicate the spectacular death of a massive star, especially in our own galaxy. Since much of the energy released in the burst is expected to be carried by the muon and tau neutrinos, SNO is in excellent position to further our understanding of supernovae by measuring a significant signal from all neutrino types. Moreover, the presence of heavy water will also enhance the ability of the SNO detector to measure the initial burst of electron neutrinos. This presentation will outline aspects of the predicted signal determined using Monte Carlo simulations, as well as focussing on features of the detector supernova burst monitor and burst response protocols.
