Neutrinos from supernovae
Neutrinos from supernovae were detected for the first and last time nearly 40 years ago, from the Supernova SN1987A, confirming that exploding stars cool through neutrino emission. The physics includes the various fusion processes inside the star, the emission of neutrinos in different stages, and their subsequent detection. The flux of neutrinos is expected to be modified due to the high dense matter at the core of stars, and many experiments are looking forward to detecting such effects.
Prof. D. Indumathi, IIA - Bengaluru is one of the prominent scientists in India working in Particle Phenomenology. After her PhD in Particle Physics at IMSc-Chennai, and Post-Doctoral stints at PRL-Ahmedabad, and University of Dortmund, Germany, she joined HRI-Allahabad, subsequently moving to her alma-mater, IMSc Chennai. One of the strong proponents of the Indian Neutrino Observatory, her research has focused mainly on atmospheric and solar neutrinos, nucleon and nuclear structure functions, etc. Currently Prof. Indumathi is a Raja Ramanna Chair Professor at IIA-Bengaluru.
