Description
The Hyper-Kamiokande detector, a water Cherenkov detector with one megaton total mass, is a next-generation detector for nucleon decay and neutrino studies.
Main goals are a search for the nucleon decay with ten times better sensitivity than current lifetime limits set by Super-Kamiokande, precise measurement of the neutrino mixing matrix (in particular the CP-violating Dirac phase) with accelerator and atmospheric neutrinos, and other researches in particle and astroparticle physics with extraterrestorial neutrinos.
Technical design of the detector such as large caverns and tanks, photo-sensors and readout system, and water purification system, is ongoing.
This presentation will give an overview of goals and challenges of the experiment and the latest design of the Hyper-Kamiokande detector.
