DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrey Sheshukov (Joint Institute for Nuclear Resear
 ch)\nThe NOvA experiment has two segmented liquid scintillation detectors\
 ,\nwhich are sensitive to the neutrino signal from a core-collapse\nsupern
 ova in our galaxy.  Each of these detectors performs an online\nreconstruc
 tion and analysis of the neutrino interaction candidates\,\ncomparing thei
 r time distribution to that of the signals expected from a\ncore-collapse 
 supernova.  The statistical significance calculated in\nthis comparison is
  used to decide if a detector is currently observing a\nsupernova signal.\
 n\nThe combination of these significance values from both detectors\nprovi
 des a more efficient metric for detecting the supernova signal\,\nincreasi
 ng the maximum distance at which NOvA can detect a core-collapse\nsupernov
 a.\n\nNOvA's approach for its combination of two detectors for supernova\n
 detection can be generalized to a network of various detectors with\ndiffe
 rent background levels and sensitivities.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za/ev
