Speaker
Description
The Super-Kamiokande (SK) experiment is a 50 kton water Cherenkov detector located in the Kamioka Observatory in Japan and in operation since 1996, observing neutrinos and anti-neutrinos from many different sources. In 2020, SK moved to the SK-Gd phase, in which gadolinium sulfate octahydrate was added to the water in the detector to improve the detection efficiency of neutrons. Such neutrons identify inverse beta reactions of low energy electron anti-neutrinos. We report an overview of the recent results of low energy neutrino analyses in SK such as solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and supernova relic neutrinos, as well as the achieved improvements and prospects after the gadolinium loading.
