Multi-Messenger Neutrino Astrophysics with the Super-Kamiokande detector

by Mathieu Sylvain Lamoureux (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

Monday 28 Feb 2022, 15:30 → 17:00 Europe/Rome

Super-Kamiokande (SK) is a 50-kt water Cherenkov detector, instrumented with ∼13k photomultipliers and running since 1996. It is sensitive to neutrinos with energies ranging from MeV to TeV. Even though SK is focusing mainly on the study of neutrino oscillations and the detection of the next galactic supernova, it can also be exploited for the identification of astrophysical high-energy neutrino sources. As the LIGO-Virgo collaboration has recently released new catalogues of gravitational waves (GW) sources, neutrinos in spatial and temporal coincidence with these sources have been searched for. Such observations are then used to constrain the corresponding neutrino emission. The results for the follow-up of the sources listed in the GWTC-2 catalogue will be detailed, as well as prospects with future GW observations and other neutrino telescopes across the globe.
