Discovering habitable exoplanets and exomoons increases the possibility of detecting extraterrestrial life. A bilateral approach, using neutrino and electromagnetic (EM) radiation technologies, can be used to simultaneously characterize star types that generally have exoplanets and exomoons. This includes cool main-sequence, sub-giant, and red-giant stars. Additionally, supernovae, black holes, and neutron and dwarf stars, will be included to widen the investigation, since they sometimes have companions, including stars and planets. Currently, space exploration is advancing beyond the solar system and proliferating into deep space. For this expansion, sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) is required and being developed for self-coordination and interactive regulation of the various exploratory vehicles and telescopes.

“…Ongoing technological improvements in detector masses, energy resolution, and background abatement will allow the global SuperNova Early Warning System network (Al Kharusi et al 2021) to observe new signals from different stages of the life cycle of individual stars or the aggregate signal from a stellar population with multikiloton detectors such as Super-Kamiokande (Simpson et al 2019;Harada et al 2023), SNO+ (Allega et al 2023), KamLAND (Abe et al 2023), Daya Bay , DUNE (Acciarri et al 2016), JUNO (Yang & JUNO Collaboration 2022) and the upcoming HyperKamiokande (Abe et al 2016).…”

We explore neutrino emission from nonrotating, single-star models across six initial metallicities and 70 initial masses from the zero-age main sequence to the final fate. Overall, across the mass spectrum, we find metal-poor stellar models tend to have denser, hotter, and more massive cores with lower envelope opacities, larger surface luminosities, and larger effective temperatures than their metal-rich counterparts. Across the mass–metallicity plane we identify the sequence (initial CNO → 14N → 22Ne → 25Mg → 26Al → 26Mg → 30P → 30Si) as making primary contributions to the neutrino luminosity at different phases of evolution. For the low-mass models we find neutrino emission from the nitrogen flash and thermal pulse phases of evolution depend strongly on the initial metallicity. For the high-mass models, neutrino emission at He-core ignition and He-shell burning depends strongly on the initial metallicity. Antineutrino emission during C, Ne, and O burning shows a strong metallicity dependence with 22Ne(α, n)25Mg providing much of the neutron excess available for inverse-β decays. We integrate the stellar tracks over an initial mass function and time to investigate the neutrino emission from a simple stellar population. We find average neutrino emission from simple stellar populations to be 0.5–1.2 MeV electron neutrinos. Lower metallicity stellar populations produce slightly larger neutrino luminosities and average β decay energies. This study can provide targets for neutrino detectors from individual stars and stellar populations. We provide convenient fitting formulae and open access to the photon and neutrino tracks for more sophisticated population synthesis models.

Liquid scintillators are typically composed from organic compounds dissolved in organic solvents. However, usage of such material is often restricted due to fire safety and environmental reasons. Because of this, R&D of water-based liquid scintillators is of extreme relevance; yet, no such scintillators have been made commercially available as yet. Here, we investigate an alternative, water-based quantum dots liquid scintillator. Pre-determined and controllable optical properties of the quantum dots, as well as the existence of large libraries of established protocols for their dispersion in aqueous solutions, make them an attractive option for nuclear and particle physics applications. We characterize the optical properties of water-based quantum dots liquid scintillator and find that most of its optical properties are preserved upon quantum dots' phase transfer into water, through the addition of an oleic acid hydrophilic layer. Using the developed scintillator, the time and charge responses from atmospheric muons are measured, highlighting the practical viability of water-based quantum dots liquid scintillators for nuclear and particle physics, special interest on neutrino physics.
