论文摘要
粒子物理的主要挑战是确定中微子质量排序（MO）。由于物质效应，核心偏离超新星（CCSN）中中微子通量的风味含量取决于真正的中微子mo，从而导致水cherenkov中性中性探测器中测得的Lepton的能量和角度分布明显不同。在本文中，比较了八种不同CCSN模型的分布，用于研究它们的差异如何影响中微子质量排序的确定。在所有情况下，都发现所推断的中微子质量有序是正确的或不确定的，没有明显的假阳性。但是，在模型预测之间观察到的实质性变化强调了CCSN建模中正在进行的研究的关键性。
A major challenge of particle physics is determining the neutrino mass ordering (MO). Due to matter effects, the flavor content of the neutrino flux from a Core-Collapse Supernova (CCSN) depends on the true neutrino MO resulting in markedly different energy and angle distributions for the measured lepton in water Cherenkov neutrino detectors. In this article, those distributions are compared for eight different CCSN models and used to study how their differences affect the determination of the neutrino mass ordering. In all cases, the inferred neutrino mass ordering is found to be either correct or inconclusive, with no significant false positives. However, the substantial variation observed among model predictions emphasizes the criticality of ongoing research in CCSN modeling.
