DESCRIPTION:Speakers: SANCHEZ\, Mayly (Argonne National Laboratory)\nThe n
 ext generation of neutrino experiments will require massive and/or high re
 solution detectors to reach the sensitivity needed to measure CP violation
  in the lepton sector and the neutrino mass hierarchy. Recently the Large 
 Area Picosecond Photo Detectors (LAPPD) Collaboration has begun developing
  new methods to fabricate a 20cm-square thin planar multichannel plate pho
 tosensors. The application of these novel devices to large water Cherenkov
  detectors could significantly enhance background rejection and vertex res
 olution in these detectors by improving spatial and timing information. We
  present details of the MCP fabrication method\, status of the LAPPD proje
 ct as well as preliminary results on the reconstruction capabilities for n
 eutrino events in Water Cherenkov detectors.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/cont
