Description
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has full sensitivity for core-collapse supernovae within the Milky Way and model-dependent sensitivity for the Large and Small Magellanic clouds. The upcoming extension of IceCube, IceCube-Gen2, offers the opportunity to implement new trigger and sensor concepts promising to improve IceCube's CCSNe sensitivity. Coincidence triggers on the one hand allow us to lower the noise rate in the measurement, pushing IceCube's sensitivity horizon further out and thereby extending its reach. Wavelength-shifting sensors on the other hand capture more signal photons due to the increased light collection and a comparably low sensor noise low. This is particularly of interest when studying the light curve nearby CCSNe with high statistics giving valuable insights into the dynamics of CCSNe. In this poster I will show what the prospects of these techniques in IceCube-Gen2 mean for the detection of CCSNe.
