Abstract
The neutrino emission characteristics of the first full-scale three-dimensional supernova simulations with sophisticated three-flavor neutrino transport for three models with masses 11.2, 20, and are evaluated in detail. All the studied progenitors show the expected hydrodynamical instabilities in the form of large-scale convective overturn. In addition, the recently identified lepton-number emission self-sustained asymmetry (LESA) phenomenon is generic for all our cases. Standing accretion-shock instability (SASI) activity appears in the 20 and cases, partly in the form of a spiral mode, inducing large but direction- and flavor-dependent modulations of neutrino emission. These modulations can be clearly identified in the existing IceCube and future Hyper-Kamiokande detectors, depending on the distance and detector location relative to the main standing accretion-shock instability sloshing direction.
