36. TITUS: Introduction to the Intermediate Detector and Physics

Dr Matthew Malek (Imperial College London)

Near Detectors

The Tokai Intermediate Tank with Unoscillated Spectrum (TITUS) is a proposed new near detector for the Hyper-Kamiokande beam programme. The baseline design for TITUS features a 2 ktonne water Cherenkov (WC) detector at a distance of ~2 km from the J-PARC neutrino beam. TITUS is a 'next-generation' WC detector, including technological advances such as gadolinium-loading, and LAPPD photosensors....

35. A Magnetized Muon Range Detector for TITUS

Mark Rayner (Université de Genève)

Near Detectors

We clarify the design of the magnetized Muon Range Detector (MRD) for the proposed TITUS intermediate detector. Such an magnetized MRD would contain muons from interactions in the water Cherenkov detector, and would lend an extra advantage to the detector - the capacity to distinguish meutrino and antineutrino events, through the observation of the muon charge. We address both practical...

37. A 3D grid-like neutrino near detector with a water target, WAGASCI

Dr Akihiro Minamino (Kyoto University)

31/01/2015, 09:50

Near Detectors

A test experiment, T-59, to develop a 3D grid-like neutrino near detector with a water target for measurement of neutrino cross sections at the T2K near detector hall was approved by J-PARC PAC. We are developing the detector to reduce the uncertainty on neutrino cross sections for T2K oscillation analyses. A new idea, a 3D grid-like structure of scintillator bars, is adopted to detect tracks...

33. Applications of Water-based Liquid Scintillator in the T2K Near Detector

Prof. Stanley Yen (TRIUMF)

31/01/2015, 10:15

Near Detectors

A fine-grained, water-based liquid scintillator detector to replace the current passive water + plastic scintillator target in FGD2 in the T2K ND280 tracker system would allow the direct tracking of low energy hadrons emitted by neutrino interactions on oxygen. We are currently building a 1-cell prototype using the WbLS developed at BNL to test for light output.
