Salle des Séminaires

Since more than two decades, experiments with solar, reactor, accelerator and atmospheric neutrinos have put milestones in our knowledge of neutrino properties. Neutrino astrophysics evolved hand in hand with this progress. 

In this talk I will focus on neutrinos from dense environments, i.e. core-collapse supernovae, mergers of compact objects, accretion disks around black holes, where numerous key questions remain open. I will focus on the case of supernovae, going from SN1987A observations to what we can learn from the measurement of the time signal, in particular, from the next supernova. I will conclude by discussing the upcoming detection of the diffuse supernova neutrino background and why it is important.
