Abstract
We study the impact of neutrino oscillations on the supernova neutrino signal in the Large Volume Detector (LVD). The number of expected events for a galactic supernova (D=10 kpc) is calculated, assuming neutrino masses and mixing that explain solar and atmospheric neutrino results. The possibility to detect neutrinos in different channels makes LVD sensitive to different scenarios for neutrino properties, such as normal or inverted neutrino mass hierarchy, and/or adiabatic or non adiabatic MSW resonances associated to U(e3). Of particular importance are the charged current reactions on carbon: oscillations increase by almost one order of magnitude the number of events expected from this channel.
