随着重要的实验进展，对漫射超新星中微子背景（DSNB）的检验正进入一个可能导致发现的新阶段。这促使我们开发简单且广泛适用的工具，用于比较理论预测和解释实验结果。我们表明，在当前探测器相关的能量范围内，DSNB 可以很好地用指数谱描述，其特征参数为 20 MeV 处的微分通量 $\phi_{20}$ 和谱能量标度 $E_0$。我们拟合了 24 个代表性模型的谱，并证明指数描述提供了极好的近似。然后，我们将近期超级神冈（Super-Kamiokande）的结果重新表示在 $(\phi_{20},E_0)$ 平面上，表明模型特定的最佳拟合和上限可以在该框架内自然地解释。我们的结果表明，在现实的探测阈值之上，并且在达到精度阶段之前，可观测的 DSNB 实际上是一个两参数现象。我们主张将 $(\phi_{20},E_0)$ 参数化作为标准，用于常规报告未来的理论预测和实验结果。
英文摘要
Following important experimental developments, tests of the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB) are entering a new phase that might lead to a discovery. This motivates the development of simple and broadly applicable tools for comparing theoretical predictions and interpreting experimental results. We show that, over the energy range relevant to current detectors, the DSNB is well described by an exponential spectrum, characterized by the differential flux at 20 MeV, $ϕ_{20}$, and a spectral energy scale, $E_0$. We fit the spectra of 24 representative models and demonstrate that the exponential description provides an excellent approximation. We then recast the recent Super-Kamiokande results in the $(ϕ_{20},E_0)$ plane, showing that model-specific best fits and upper bounds can be interpreted naturally within this framework. Our results indicate that, above realistic detection thresholds, and until the precision phase is reached, the observable DSNB is effectively a two-parameter phenomenon. We advocate that the $(ϕ_{20},E_0)$ parameterization be adopted as a standard, to be used routinely to report future theoretical predictions and experimental results.
