White Paper on Neutrino Interaction Measurements for Supernova Neutrino Detection
Year: 2026
Type: report
Abstract: This white paper summarizes a workshop held in March 2023 at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). We summarize the motivation and potential for measurement of inelastic neutrino-nucleus interactions relevant for supernova neutrino detection in current and near-future detectors, focusing on interactions on oxygen, argon, carbon and lead. We describe as an example a new near-term water-based detector at the SNS First Target Station capable of measuring inelastic neutrino interactions on oxygen.
