Abstract

We show that the supernova neutrino signal in terrestrial detectors could\ngive characteristic signatures as the shock propagates through the regions\nwhere matter-enhanced neutrino flavor transformation takes place. This effect\ncould allow existing and proposed supernova neutrino detectors to provide new\ninsights into the problem of shock re-generation and propagation.\nAlternatively, such observations could allow unique insights into the neutrino\nmass and mixing matrix.\n
