Description
The next phase of observation with the Super-K detector will add gadolinium sulfate to the water in order to enhance neutron capture. We will present details on the detector modifications, started in mid-2018 and completed in 2019. The first tests with gadolinium are expected in early 2020. We will review the topics with enabled sensitivity from this upgrade, namely, supernova neutrinos, atmospheric neutrinos, and nucleon decay.
