It consists of two water Cherenkov neutrino detectors, ARCA and ORCA, aimed at neutrino astrophysics and oscillation research, respectively. Instrumenting a large volume of sea water with similar to 6200 optical modules comprising a total of similar to 200,000 photomultiplier tubes, KM3NeT will achieve sensitivity to similar to 10 MeV neutrinos from Galactic and near-Galactic core-collapse supernovae through the observation of coincident hits in photomultipliers above the background. In this paper, the sensitivity of KM3NeT to a supernova explosion is estimated from detailed analyses of background data from the first KM3NeT detection units and simulations of the neutrino signal. The KM3NeT observational horizon (for a 5 sigma discovery) covers essentially the Milky-Way and for the most optimistic model, extends to the Small Magellanic Cloud (similar to 60 kpc). Detailed studies of the time profile of the neutrino signal allow assessment of the KM3NeT capability to determine the arrival time of the neutrino burst with a few milliseconds precision for sources up to 5-8 kpc away, and detecting the peculiar signature of the standing accretion shock instability if the core-collapse supernova explosion happens closer than 3-5 kpc, depending on the progenitor mass. KM3NeT's capability to measure the neutrino flux spectral parameters is also presented.}, organization = {French National Research Agency (ANR) ANR-15-CE31-0020}, organization = {Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)}, organization = {Commission Europeenne, France}, organization = {Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), France}, organization = {LabEx UnivEarthS, France ANR-10-LABX-0023 ANR-18-IDEX-0001}, organization = {Paris Ile-de-France Region, France}, organization = {Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG), Georgia FR-18-1268}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG)}, organization = {Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT}, organization = {Greek Ministry of Development-GSRT}, organization = {Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN)}, organization = {Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR)}, organization = {PRIN 2017 program, Italy NAT-NET 2017W4HA7S}, organization = {Ministry of Higher Education Scientific Research and Professional Training, ICTP, Morocco AF-13}, organization = {Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO)}, organization = {Netherlands Government}, organization = {National Science Centre, Poland 2015/18/E/ST2/00758}, organization = {National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania}, organization = {Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades (MCIU): Programa Estatal de Generacion de Conocimiento, Spain PGC2018-096663-B-C41 PGC2018-096663-A-C42 PGC2018-096663-B-C43 PGC2018-096663-B-C44}, organization = {Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence and MultiDark Consolider (MCIU), Spain}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia European Commission SOMM17/6104/UGR}, organization = {Generalitat Valenciana: Grisolia, Spain GRISO-LIA/2018/119 GenT program, Spain CIDEGENT/2018/034 CIDE-GENT/2019/043}, organization = {La Caixa Foundation LCF/BQ/IN17/11620019 EU: MSC program, Spain 713673}, organization = {European Commission 739560}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {The KM3NeT potential for the next core-collapse supernova observation with neutrinos}, doi = {10.1140/epjc/s10052-021-09187-5}, author = {Aiello, S. and Anguita López, Mancia and Díaz García, Antonio Francisco and López Coto, Daniel and Navas Concha, Sergio and Tenllado, Enrique and KM3NeT Collaboration}, }
