Research on neutrino events of SN 1987a

Abstract We carried out a Monte Carlo simulation calculation on the observed data of neutrino events of the supernova SN1987A. Our results show that the best value for the rest-mass of neutrino is 3–4 eV. We also calculated the light curve of the neutrino bursts and the energy spectrum.Our results impose constraints on the rest-mass of neutrino and the mass of the precursor of SN 1987A.
