Description
Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) is a next-generation international neutrino experiment currently under construction in Japan. HK will explore proton decay and have the capability to detect Earth-crossing, atmospheric, solar, cosmic, and accelerator neutrinos. Expected to start data collection in 2027, HK will require periodic calibration for optimal performance.
The calibration at lower energies will involve utilizing a Deuterium Tritium neutron Generator (DTG), entailing the generation of a radioactive N16 cloud strategically positioned in various locations within the water tank.
A simulation of N16 cloud generation and decay was conducted, and the daughter particles were propagated through the detector volume using a dedicated HK simulation software. Energy and vertex reconstructions were performed using multiple reconstruction algorithms.
The DTG will be deployed using a computer-controlled crane to achieve accurate positioning while prioritizing the cleanliness and safety of the detector.
