A suite of detectors around the world is poised to measure the flavor-energy-time evolution of the ten-second burst of neutrinos from a core-collapse supernova occurring in the Milky Way or nearby. Next-generation detectors to be built in the next decade will have enhanced flavor sensitivity and statistics. Not only will the observation of this burst allow us to peer inside the dense matter of the extreme event and learn about the collapse processes and the birth of the remnant, but the neutrinos will bring information about neutrino properties themselves. This review surveys some of the physical signatures that the currently-unknown neutrino mass pattern will imprint on the observed neutrino events at Earth, emphasizing the most robust and least model-dependent signatures of mass ordering.

In a core-collapse supernova, after the explosion is launched, neutrino heating above the protoneutron star creates an outflow of matter. This outflow has been extensively investigated as a nucleosynthesis site. Here, we revisit this problem motivate
d by the modeling of neutrino flavor transformations. In this case, it is crucial to understand whether the outflow has a termination shock: its existence observably alters neutrino oscillations a few seconds into the explosion. We derive physical criteria for the formation of this shock, in terms of neutrino luminosity, average energy, protoneutron star radius and mass, and the postshock density. For realistic physical conditions, the system is found to be on the edge of shock formation, thus reconciling seemingly disparate numerical results in the literature. Our findings imply that neutrino signatures of modulated matter effects are a sensitive probe of the inner workings of the supernova.
Determination of the neutrino mass ordering (NMO) is one of the biggest priorities in the intensity frontier of high energy particle physics. To accomplish that goal a lot of efforts are being put together with the atmospheric, solar, reactor, and ac
celerator neutrinos. In the standard 3-flavor framework, NMO is defined to be normal if $m_1<m_2<m_3$, and inverted if $m_3<m_1<m_2$, where $m_1$, $m_2$, and $m_3$ are the masses of the three neutrino mass eigenstates $ u_1$, $ u_2$, and $ u_3$ respectively. Interestingly, two long-baseline experiments T2K and NO$ u$A are playing a leading role in this direction and provide a $sim2.4sigma$ indication in favor of normal ordering (NO) which we find in this work. In addition, we examine how the situation looks like in presence of non-standard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with a special focus on the non-diagonal flavor changing type $varepsilon_{etau}$ and $varepsilon_{emu}$. We find that the present indication of NO in the standard 3-flavor framework gets completely vanished in the presence of NSI of the flavor changing type involving the $e-tau$ flavors.
The DUNE/LBNF program aims to address key questions in neutrino physics and astroparticle physics. Realizing DUNEs potential to reconstruct low-energy particles in the 10-100 MeV energy range will bring significant benefits for all DUNEs science goal
s. In neutrino physics, low-energy sensitivity will improve neutrino energy reconstruction in the GeV range relevant for the kinematics of DUNEs long-baseline oscillation program. In astroparticle physics, low-energy capabilities will make DUNEs far detectors the worlds best apparatus for studying the electron-neutrino flux from a supernova. This will open a new window to unrivaled studies of the dynamics and neutronization of a stars central core in real time, the potential discovery of the neutrino mass hierarchy, provide new sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model, and evidence of neutrino quantum-coherence effects. The same capabilities will also provide new sensitivity to `boosted dark matter models that are not observable in traditional direct dark matter detectors.
This article presents the potential of a combined analysis of the JUNO and KM3NeT/ORCA experiments to determine the neutrino mass ordering. This combination is particularly interesting as it significantly boosts the potential of either detector, beyo
nd simply adding their neutrino mass ordering sensitivities, by removing a degeneracy in the determination of $Delta m_{31}^2$ between the two experiments when assuming the wrong ordering. The study is based on the latest projected performances for JUNO, and on simulation tools using a full Monte Carlo approach to the KM3NeT/ORCA response with a careful assessment of its energy systematics. From this analysis, a $5sigma$ determination of the neutrino mass ordering is expected after 6 years of joint data taking for any value of the oscillation parameters. This sensitivity would be achieved after only 2 years of joint data taking assuming the current global best-fit values for those parameters for normal ordering.
We consider the mixing of muon and tau neutrinos with sterile fermion fields propagating in extra dimensions in the context of core collapse supernova physics, extending the analysis of the electron neutrino case done in a previous work. We show that
the potentially dramatic modifications to the supernova evolution are prevented by a mechanism of feedback, so that no severe bounds on the parameters of the extra dimensions need to be imposed. Nevertheless, the supernova core evolution is significantly modified. We discuss the consequences on the delayed explosion mechanism and the compatibility with the SN1987A signal. Then, for the cases of both nu_{mu,tau} and nu_e mixing with bulk fermions, we analyse the distinctive features of the signal on Earth.
