Searching for supernova neutrinos with GW memory triggers [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2205.07966


Anisotropic neutrino emission from a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) causes a permanent change in the local space-time metric, called the gravitational wave (GW) memory. Long considered unobservable, this effect will be detectable in the near future, at deci-Hertz GW interferometers. I will present a novel idea, where observations of the neutrino GW memory from CCSNe will enable time-triggered searches of supernova neutrinos at megaton (Mt) scale detectors, which will open a new avenue to studying supernova neutrinos.
