Description
The Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB) is the integrated flux of neutrinos and antineutrinos emitted by all past supernovae in the observable Universe. It is yet to be observed.
In this regard, the Super-Kamiokande (SK) experiment has entered its gadolinium (Gd) era in 2020: the Gd-loading of the water tank enhances the capability to tag the inverse beta-decay neutron stemming from the interaction of a DSNB electronic antineutrino with a proton.
In this poster, I will present the model-dependent analysis developed for the DSNB search, and its results with the most recent SK data, with increased signal sensitivity owing to Gd-loading. I will also show how evidence for DSNB is within reach with the SK-Gd experiment.
