12. In an early provocative paper, A. De Rujula, Phys. Lett. B 193, 514 (1987), it was argued that a few MeV (Formula presented) are emitted in the first phase, and there is a final transition to a black hole. In a more recent and elaborate proposal, the emission of 30–40 MeV (Formula presented) 12 and an essential role of rotation to delay the final collapse were foreseen. We do not aim to discuss these models, but we believe that it is not unfair to say that they recall us that the very existence of 5 LSD events (even before any theoretical consideration) suggests a cautious attitude toward “standard” interpretations of SN1987A collapse or neutrino events, or on the nature of the star (and of the protoneutron star) at the moment of neutrino emission.

36. In particular, if we use the model of Eq. (8), the inclusion of MSW in the Earth diminishes the expected number of IBD events in KII (respectively in IMB) only by 0.5% (respectively by 2.5%). For the numerical evaluation, we use the formulas from F. Cavanna, M.L. Costantini, O. Palamara, and F. Vissani, astro-ph/0311256 in the approximation of uniform Earth density; for KII (respectively, IMB) the average density is (Formula presented) (respectively, 4.5) gr/cc, while the distance traveled in the Earth is (Formula presented) (respectively, 8500) km.

47. Indeed, in certain astrophysical scenarios, as collapses with rotation 12, there is a large excess of (Formula presented) at production. What happens is similar to a (very) prolonged neutronization phase; the opacity of the medium is reduced, and energetic electron neutrinos free stream from the star, see also the reviews of V.S. Imshennik published in Astron. Lett. 18, 489 (1992)

If we take seriously the fact that the most forward events of KII are also among the most energetic, we are lead to hypothesize that the neutrinos have an average energy about twice as large (which gives (Formula presented) and we obtain (Formula presented) by imposing a reasonable condition on the emitted leptonic number.
