Description
The Large Volume Detector (LVD) at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory, Italy, is a 1 kt liquid scintillator detector whose main goal is the detection of neutrino bursts from core-collapse supernovae in the Galaxy. LVD has been continuously taking data since 1992 for a total of almost 30 years of operation. A search over the whole dataset yielded no evidence of neutrino bursts, setting an upper limit to the rate of core-collapse supernovae in the Galaxy.
