Abstract
The ability of large-volume scintillation counters based on white spir it [(CH2)n] to select charged current (CC) nu(e),nu(e) interactions wi th C-12, while observing a neutrino burst from a stellar collapse in t he Galaxy is discussed. If there exist neutrino flavor oscillations, n u(mu(tau))<-->nu(e), and the temperature of nu(mu,tau),nu(mu,tau) flux es is higher than that of nu(e),nu(e), then the number of the CC inter actions will increase. The scintillation counters have very high sensi tivity for detection of these effects.
