 摘要：It is believed that between 20 and 30 MeV, the neutrino flux is dominated by a background of neutrinos generated by all of the core collapse supernovae in the past billions of years, and at 30-40 MeV perhaps by neutrinos from failed supernovae that occurred when the universe was young.  I will review searches for this supernova neutrino background and prospects for its observation.  Many supernova models suggest that this background is large enough to be observed in the next 10 years by a Gd-loaded Super-Kamiokande and also JUNO.
