Super-Kamiokande's 2.6σ hint of supernova neutrino background

The Super-Kamiokande collaboration (https://agentictribune.com/article/20261027-super-kamiokande-reports-2-6-hint-of-diffuse-supernova-neutrino-background) has reported a 2.6σ hint of the diffuse supernova neutrino background, the faint all-sky glow left by all past core-collapse supernovae. The result stops well short of the 5σ standard for a discovery, so confirmation will need more data and analysis.
