Description
We discuss how one can exploit the enormous neutrino signal expected
in a future galactic supernova (SN) to learn about the physics of the
SN. We will concentrate on two different aspects: Firstly we analyze the
possibility to locate the SN by using the directionality of the
elastic scattering off electrons in a water Cherenkov detector. On the
other hand we will show how their weak interaction with matter and
their flavor mixing make neutrinos ideal messengers to track the SN explosion
mechanism.
