Oscillation Experiment

A next generation water Cherenkov detector at Kamioka with a total mass of ~1 Mton is called Hyper-Kamiokande. If the beam intensity of a 50-GeV proton synchrotron now under construction at Tokai is upgraded to 4 MW in future, a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with Hyper-Kamiokande as a far detector will open the possibility of measuring CP violation in the neutrino sector. Also, Hyper-Kamiokande will allow to extend nucleon decay search to τp/B(p → e+π0) > 1035 yr and [Formula: see text]. Aiming at the realization of Hyper-Kamiokande, various R&D efforts are in progress.

Water Cherenkov Detector

Abstract Extra-galactic gamma-ray sources, such as gamma-ray bursts, active galactic nuclei, starburst galaxies, are interesting and important targets for LHAASO observations. In this chapter, the prospects of detecting these sources with LHAASO and their physical implications are studied. The upgrade plan for the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA), which aims to enhance the detectability of relatively lower energy photons, is also presented. In addition, a study on constraining the extragalactic background light with LHAASO observation of blazars is presented.
