Description

The neutrino oscillation measurement program of Hyper-K requires unprecedented accuracy for the modeling of neutrino fluxes and neutrino-nucleus interaction cross sections.
The Hyper-K experiment will include a suite of near detectors to control systematic uncertainties on neutrino flux and interaction models. In this talk we will describe the baseline
Hyper-K near detector suite, which includes beam direction measurement detectors,
a magnetized tracking detector, and a kilo-ton scale water Cherenkov detector.
We will discuss the measurements these detectors will make to control systematic errors for the accelerator-based neutrino oscillation program, as well as the atmospheric neutrino
and nucleon decay programs of Hyper-K.
