Detection of Core-Collapse Supernova Neutrinos

When a massive star collapses at the end of its life, nearly all of

the gravitational binding energy of the resulting remnant is released

in the form of neutrinos. I will discuss the nature of the

core-collapse neutrino burst and what we can learn from the detection

of these neutrinos. I will cover supernova neutrino detection

techniques in general, current supernova neutrino detectors, and

prospects for specific future experiments. I will also discuss

experimental needs for interpretation of a detected signal.
