Abstract

The current status of the ASD (Artemovsk scintillation detector) experiment aimed at search for a neutrino flux from gravitational collapses of stellar cores is presented. Experimental data obtained for 40 years of operation of the detector situated in a salt mine at a depth of 570 mwe are processed. The results obtained by calculating the expected signal in the detector on the basis of two models of supernova explosion are described. No candidates for neutrino bursts from gravitational star collapses have been revealed: the limit on the frequency of gravitational collapses was found to be less than one event per 17.15 yr at a 90% confidence level (fcol < 0.058 yr−1).
