Description
MEMPHYS is a 0.5 Mton scale Water Čerenkov detector proposed for a
deep underground installation - possible sites are under study in the Euro-
pean FP7 design study LAGUNA. It is dedicated to nucleon decay, neutrinos
from supernovæ, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, as well as neutrinos from
a future super-beam or beta-beam. Its performance with neutrino beams
includes the posibility of measuring the mixing angle θ13 , the CP violating
phase δ and mass hierarchy. One R&D item currently being carried out
is MEMPHYNO, a small-scale prototype with the main purpose of serving
as a test bench for new photodetection and data acquisition solutions, such
as grouped readout and systems. In this poster we review the MEMPHYS
physics reach and present the status of the MEMPHYNO prototype.
