Possible violation of the spin-statistics relation for neutrinos: checking through future galactic supernova

Abstract

We use the detection of neutrinos from a future galactic type-II supernova event in a water Cerenkov detector like Super-Kamiokande to constrain the possible violation of spin-statistics by neutrinos resulting in their obeying a mixed statistics instead of Fermi-Dirac.
