Description
Hyper-Kamiokande is a next-generation large-scale water Cherenkov detector under construction in Japan. The far detector will provide nearly an order of magnitude more fiducial mass than Super-Kamiokande and will be equipped with high-efficiency photodetectors and upgraded calibration systems. With cavern excavation completed in summer 2025, the project is progressing towards tank construction in 2026, PMT installation in 2027, and commissioning ahead of first data in 2028. Hyper-Kamiokande will deliver precise oscillation measurements, including sensitivity to CP violation, and enhanced searches for proton decay and supernova neutrinos. This talk will present the status of the far detector and the main sensitivities across the Hyper-K physics programme.
