Supernova neutrino detection by terrestrial nuclear detectors

We present and discuss differential cross sections for the 128,130Te isotopes, contents of the COBRA double beta decay detector. The response of these isotopes to energy spectra of supernova neutrinos is explored by convoluting the original results, calculated in the context of the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) using realistic two-body forces, with a two-parameter Fermi–Dirac (FD) and a Power-Law (PL) neutrino energy distributions.
