Solar and supernova neutrino physics with Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

Abstract
The salient features of solar and supernova neutrino physics at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory are examined. The possibility of detecting a solar-antineutrino flux, predicted as a result of resonant spinflavor conversion, is emphasized. The antineutrino flux at Sudbury due to the commercial power reactors is calculated. Simplified, analytical expressions for the expected galactic supernova count rates are given.
