The sensitivity of CP measurement using J-PARC beam shown in Hyper-K LOI is calculated with fixed theta_23 and delta m^2_32, and the treatment of systematic uncertainty is very simple. To validate the LOI sensitivity, I will show the sensitivity obtained by fitting 4 oscillation parameters (delta_CP, theta_13, theta_23, and delta m^2_32) with more realistic treatment of the systematic...

The CP violating effect in the $\nu_\mu\rightarrow \nu_e$ oscillation probability is suppressed with respect to the CP-conserving contribution. Therefore, systematic uncertainties affecting the signal at long baseline oscillation experiments are extremely relevant for the CP violation searches. We will present a phenomenological analysis showing the possible impact that systematic errors may...

In order to maximize the physics potential of a projected 10 year beam running period, systematic uncertainties at the 2% level are required, and the largest source of systematic uncertainty is projected to be from uncertainties on neutrino interaction cross sections. This new near detector proposal aims to significantly reduce the dependence of T2HK measurements on a priori knowledge of...

Neutrino oscillations inside matter are sensitive to the electron density. On the other hand, neutrino absorption is sensitive to the mass density. The mass density distribution of the Earth's core is also inferred from seismic tomography. Therefore, neutrino oscillation can be used for a probe to determine the average atomic mass ratio A/Z of the Earth's core by comparing with the mass...

WIMP searches using the captured WIMP by terrestrial bodies are characterized by whether the scattering is spin-independent (in which case the WIMP couples to the mass in the nucleus) or spin-dependent (in which case the WIMP couples to the spin of the nucleus). For spin-dependent coupling case, Hyper-K solar analysis is expected to have strongest sensitivity among currently proposed detectors...

A proof test of 8-inch HPDs and 20-inch high-QE PMTs using a 200-ton tank starts from this summer at Kamioka mine. These preparation status and a recent R&D of photosensors will be presented.

We prepared ten 8-inch HPDs and eight high-QE 20-inch PMTs and a part
of them will be installed in a 200-ton tank for a proof-test from this
summer. For the installation, a gain adjustment finished and these
performance was evaluated to select the photodetectors into the tank.

The baseline Hyper-K concept relies on 99,000 20” photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) to provide 20% photo-coverage. We are investigating solutions that would enhance the photo-coverage without compromising either contrast or timing resolution. Contrast roughly quantifies the fraction of photons detected that retain the Cerenkov light directional information over the total number of photons detected...

In the current beseline design, the photo-coverage of the HK inner tank is 20%. For the low energy neutrino measurement (for example, a precise measurement of the solar neutrino spectrum or a measurement of the day-night asymmetry of the solar neutrino flux), higher photo-coverage is desirable. This R&D is to enlarge the effective photo-coverage using light collection system. I will show the...

The next generation of neutrino experiments will require massive and high resolution detectors to reach the sensitivity needed to measure CP violation in the lepton sector and the neutrino mass hierarchy.
New photodetectors based on micro-channel plates are being developed by the Large-Area Picosecond Photo Detector (LAPPD) Collaboration. These photosensors have shown potential for excellent...

A facility to measure the response and reflective properties of PMTs (and other materials) in water is under construction at TRIUMF. Through two manipulator arms, collimated and polarize laser light at various wavelengths can be directed at the PMT (or other sample) from a large range of position and angles, with reflected light detected by a photosensor on the other arm. The facility includes...
