Description
Since SN1987A, we know that supernovae (SNs) produce burst of
neutrinos which can be detected several minutes to hours before the
electromagnetic burst. Detecting this neutrino burst would provide
valuable information on the supernova explosion mechanism and allow
to give an early warning of the imminent eletromagnetic burst arrival
to the astronomer community. The Super-Kamiokande experiment, with its
50 ktons water Cerenkov detector, is one of main neutrino detector
able to provide this warning. In this poster, we will present the last
status and improvements of the Super-Kamiokande's supernova monitoring
system.
