The results of this and other experiments are summarized at the data page for neutrino mass . Since there are no observations of supernova neutrinos since 1987, the focus of the reports was rather theoretical. The most interesting question around supernovae seems to be the synthesis of the heaviest elements by r-process, which may likely take place in the hot bubble of the exploding supernova. Simulating the rapid nuclear reactions in the exploding star is a very challenging task, and it is essentially harder than simulating the stellar energy production or big bang nucleosynthesis. The present simulations do not yet fit well enough to the data.
Neutrinos play a substantial role for making the appropriate conditions for the r-process.
Namely, a successcul nucleosynthesis requires the matter to be neutron rich, and the proton to neutron ratio is controlled by the neutrino radiation. Hence, changes in the neutrino flux, e.g. by MSW conversion, may directly affect the production of heavy nuclei. Several new experiments will be able to measure a future supernova. Some of these were discussed during the meeting, both in form of an oral presentation and a poster. The LSND experiment still stands behind their claims of neutrino oscillation.
