Application of simulation techniques in supernova physics

In supernova (SN) physics, the responses of nuclear neutrino-detectors to SN neutrino-spectra, are studied by convoluting original theoretical cross sections with well known SN (anti)neutrino-energy distributions (such distributions are the two-parameter Fermi-Dirac and Power-Law distributions). Also, the interpretation of SN neutrino signals, created at various nuclear ν-detectors, is explored by applying simulation techniques in low-energy ν-tildee anti-neutrino spectra of boosted β-radioactive 6He ions (beta-beam neutrinos). In the present paper, we employ simulation techniques to analyze original SN anti-neutrino signals by using synthetic beta-beam spectra (defined as linear combinations of boosted beta-beam spectra of 6He). The quality of the fits, obtained by using the MERLIN optimization package, is in general good. From a nuclear theory point of view, the resulted nuclear responses reflect the effectiveness of some detector materials as SN neutrino detectors (COBRA, CUORE, ICARUS experiments).
