Macroscopic interpretation of neutrino events from SN 1987A
Abstract
The interpretation of signals registered on Feb. 23, 1987 from four neutrino detectors is hindered by a number of difficulties, including a lack of proportionality between the number of registered events and the mass of the detectors, differences in the energy of the events, and an elevated anisotropy in the angular distribution. An examination of the data suggests that these signals were not caused by neutrinos from the supernova SN 1987A but are due to an internal effect in the detectors themselves, caused by a gravitational wave.
