Description
We present the neutrino neutral current cross sections on 40Ar at neutrino energies expected for supernova events. Several high energy gamma rays are emitted which offer a promising signal for studying the neutral current. In addition, we examine the charged current cross sections using large shell model calculations that are constrained by B(GT) and B(F) measurements but include operators to all orders in q^2. Using the simulation package SNOwGLoBES, predicted event rates in DUNE allows for statistical comparison of various supernova neutrino flux models.
