abstract

We dispel the misconception that data from SN 1987A favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy over the inverted hierarchy for $\sin^2 \theta_{13} \gsim 10^{-4}$. We find comparable fits for the two hierarchies. No bound can be placed on the mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ even at the 1$\sigma$ level.

  1. The flux of electron antineutrinos from supernova SN1987A data

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A refined fit of the SN1987A antineutrino data finds accretion at about 99% confidence and a small, theory-compatible neutron fraction, closing a tension in older analyses.
