Do supernovae generate neutrinos or antineutrinos?

[QUOTE="Vanadium 50, post: 6862825, member: 110252"] I don't think this is in question. We know the star's state changes from half neutrons and half protons to one that is mostly neutrons. That means you expect a pulse of neutrinos. Further, it's that neutrino burst that drives the explosion. Could we be wrong? Sure, but being wrong in just one thing won't do it - we need to be wrong with a lot of nuclear physics and astrophysics. I don't get this at all. Neutrinos are matter, just like electrons and antineutrinos are antimatter just like positrons. The 1987 detectors happened to pick processes that were more sensitive to antineutrinos, for a number of reasons, few of which had anything to do with SNe. [/QUOTE]
