Flavor Ratios of High Energy Neutrinos  Pion Decay  Charmed mesons decay  Beta decay of neutrons  Pion decay with damped muons The blend of neutrinos (or antineutrinos) at the source can tell us about the production mechanism

Flavor Content at the Earth  Vacuum oscillations fully developed  Vacuum oscillations practically absent Cosmic NeutrinosAtmospheric Neutrinos Neutrons Pions Muons A different blend of neutrinos (and antineutrinos) arrives at the Earth

Results with 3 years data Pions Charms Muons Neutrons 3 years data-set (HESE+Muons) is compatible with a cosmic origin of HEN, yet not enough statistic to discriminate the production mechanism.

Testing Unstable Neutrinos NH IH Stable States “Non radiative Neutrino decay can be tested using flavor ratios of cosmic HEN” 3 years data-set (HESE+Muons) already disfavor the decay hypothesis for both the mass hierarchies

Electromagnetic Strong Interaction Weak Interaction Gravity The Supernova puzzle The interplay among the known forces is so strong that we rely on very complex numerical simulations EXPLOSION MECHANISM IS STILL UNCERTAIN

Science Case Supernova “Central Engine” Neutrinos and Gravitational Waves (GW) are the only direct probes of the supernova engine. EM waves (optical/UV/X/Ga mma) : secondary information, late-time probes of engine. Red Supergiant Betelgeuse D ~ 200 pc Neutrinos and Gravitational Waves carry complementary information: Neutrinos: primarily thermodynamics GWs: primarily dynamics ->Joint observation will increase new physics learned! slide from C. Ott

Neutrinos Expectations ENERGY FLUENCE DURATION

GW expectations Amplitude: Frequency: Uncertainty on the prediction of orders of magnitude! Signals cannot be modeled. It’s very compelling to discriminate These short duration bursts of GWs From the spikes due to the Noise ENERGY DURATION

THE IDEA EARTH SN GW Det A Det B First neutrino event detected First neutrino reaching Detector B

SuperKamiokande Distance Reach Super-Kamiokande ’s recent “distant” burst search requiring two neutrino events (with energy threshold 17 MeV) within 20 seconds shows a ~18% probability of detecting a SN in M31 Requiring the coincidence with a GW trigger it is possible to lower the threshold to 8.5 MeV increasing the detection probability to the ~35% SK (2010) JOINT
