  2. 60. Water-based Liquid Scintillator
    Dr Minfang Yeh (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
    22/07/2014, 09:05
    The newly developed, water-based liquid scintillator (WbLS) is an advanced scintillation liquid for future massive detectors with the unique capability of exploring physics below the Cherenkov threshold and has the ability of loading any (hydrophilic) metallic ions of interest for neutron tagging or other physics enhancements. The same water-based detector could also be used as a near...

  3. 24. Sensitivity Studies for Near Detectors in a Tokai-to-Hyper-K Experiment
    Prof. Mark Hartz (Kavli IPMU (WPI), The University of Tokyo/TRIUMF)
    22/07/2014, 09:30
    The sensitivities for measuring CP violation and other neutrino oscillation parameters in a Tokai-to-Hyper-K long baseline experiment depend on systematic uncertainties in the neutrino flux and cross section models. These model uncertainties are constrained by data from near detectors. In this talk, I will present studies of the effect of near detector data on the CP violation sensitivity...

  4. 31. TITUS selection with Gd
    Dr David Hadley (University of Warwick)
    22/07/2014, 09:45
    The TITUS detector is an original multi-purpose new detector for the Hyper-K experiment, located 2 km from the J-PARC neutrino beam. TITUS consists of a gadolinium-doped water Cherenkov detector, partially enclosed by a muon range detector (MRD) The detector will be exposed to a neutrino flux similar to the Hyper-K far detector, minimising the uncertainty on the near-to-far extrapolation. The...

  5. 58. A magnetized muon range detector for the 2km TITUS detector
    Dr Mark Rayner (Université de Genève)
    22/07/2014, 10:05
    This talk will describe the advantages of surrounding the proposed 2km TITUS water Cherenkov with a magnetized iron range detector. The benefits for sample size, energy resolution and charge reconstruction will be discussed.

  6. 7. The nuPRISM Near Detector
    Dr Michael Wilking (TRIUMF)
    22/07/2014, 10:25
    In order to reach the projected T2HK physics sensitivities, a better understanding of neutrino interaction uncertainties is required. The nuPRISM detector concept is a novel new technique to directly measure neutrino interaction final states for any oscillated spectra at Hyper-K. This removes neutrino interaction uncertainties from the accelerator-based oscillation measurements, and provides...

  7. 8. Short and long baseline sensitivities with nuPRISM
    Dr Mark Scott (TRIUMF)
    22/07/2014, 10:45
    The nuPRISM detector concept provides a powerful tool for neutrino physics, using measurements at multiple off-axis angles to produce oscillated or mono-energetic neutrino beams. This talk describes the current long baseline sensitivity studies with nuPRISM, quantitatively demonstrating the benefits this technique brings to oscillation analyses. It will also discuss the short baseline...
