HK Sensitivity to Sterile Neutrinos and Lorentz ViolationI will present studies of Hyper-K's potential sensitivity to sterile neutrino oscillations induced by the parameters |Uµ4|^2 and |Uτ4|^2 and isotropic Lorentz-violating parameters from the Standard Model Extension (SME). These sensitivity studies are based on SK analyses, scaled up to equivalent HK livetimes.Speaker: Dr Alexander Himmel (Duke University)

Spectrometry of the Earth core using Hyper-K : Sensitivity studyNeutrino oscillation is sensitive to the electron density of the media. Hyper-K has a potential to measure the electron density of the deep Earth by measuring atmospheric neutrino oscillation. By combining the electron density and the matter density, we can measure the average chemical composition as the ratio of atomic number (Z) to atomic mass (A). We report the sensitivity of Hyper-K as the Z/A spectrometer. We also report the systematic uncertainty of oscillation probabilities derived from matter density models.Speaker: Dr Akimichi Taketa (Earthquake Research Institute)

Test of new photodetectors in a water tankThe second phase of the proof test with three 50 cm box-and-line photomultiplier tubes has started since 2014 summer. A calibration and basic performance measurement in the tank were performed. In addition, eight 20 cm hybrid photodetectors and five 50 cm PMTs with a high quantum efficiency have been also evaluated continuously from 2013 and its operational period will reach a year. This talk will present the recent progress and stability monitor of the photodetectors.Speaker: Dr Yasuhiro NISHIMURA (ICRR)

TITUS: Introduction to the Intermediate Detector and PhysicsThe 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. In addition, the detector will be partially enclosed by a magnetised muon range detector. This talk introduces the nominal design of TITUS, and details the physics potential of its WC component.Speaker: Dr Matthew Malek (Imperial College London)

A Magnetized Muon Range Detector for TITUSWe 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 considerations and the foreseen event reconstruction performance.Speaker: Mark Rayner (Université de Genève)

A 3D grid-like neutrino near detector with a water target, WAGASCIA 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 of charged particles with 4pi angular acceptance and high efficiency. Advantages of this detector over the current T2K neutrino near detector are larger angular acceptance and larger mass ratio of water to scintillator bars. The current status of the test experiment and the future potential to upgrade the detector to a near detector of T2HK will be presented.Speaker: Dr Akihiro Minamino (Kyoto University)

Applications of Water-based Liquid Scintillator in the T2K Near DetectorA 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.Speaker: Prof. Stanley Yen (TRIUMF)
