摘要：

We suggest that photons with energies between 5 and 10 MeV, generated by the (nu, nu'p gamma) and (nu, nu'n gamma) reactions on O-16, constitute a signal which allows a unique identification of supernova nu(mu) and nu(tau) neutrinos in water Cerenkov detectors. We calculate the yield of such gamma events and estimate that a few hundred of them would be detected in Superkamiokande for a supernova at 10 kpc distance.
