Description
Neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae constitute valuable
probes of both neutrino properties and of the currently
unknown supernova mechanisms. Supernova neutrinos can be
detected by using charged-current and/or neutral-current
neutrino scatterings off nuclei. Theoretical estimates of
the nuclear responses for relevant nuclei are important for
the interpretation of future experimental results. The
calculation of neutrino-nucleus cross sections constitute
challenges both from the computational and theoretical
points of view.
In this talk the challenges related to computations of
neutrino cross sections will be discussed. Recent results of
calculated nuclear responses for nuclei which are relevant
for future neutrino experiments will also be presented.
