Description

RES-NOVA is a new proposed experiment for the hunt of neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae (SN) via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) using an array of archaeological Pb-based cryogenic detectors. The high CEvNS cross-section on Pb and the ultra-high radiopurity of archaeological Pb enable the operation of a high statistics experiment equally sensitive to all neutrino flavors. Thanks to these unique features, RES-NOVA will be the first cm-scale neutrino telescope, able to reconstruct SN neutrino parameters with great accuracy (at the 10% level). With only a total active volume of (60 cm)$^3$, RES-NOVA will survey the entire Milky Way galaxy for SN events with >3𝜎 statistical significance. During the workshop, the expected detector performance and sensitivity will be presented.
