✦ Synopsis

a b s t r a c t

We present and discuss differential cross sections for the 128,130 Te isotopes, contents of the COBRA double beta decay detector. The response of these isotopes to energy spectra of supernova neutrinos is explored by convoluting the original results, calculated in the context of the quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA) using realistic twobody forces, with a two-parameter Fermi-Dirac (FD) and a Power-Law (PL) neutrino energy distributions.
