Presupernova neutrino signals as potential probes of neutrino mass hierarchy

We assess the potential of using presupernova neutrino signals at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) to probe the yet-unknown neutrino mass hierarchy. Using models for stars of 12, 15, 20, and 25M⊙, we find that if the ν¯e signals from such a star can be predicted precisely and the...
