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.

Background Events

The performance of the Borexino Outer Detector is described. It is a large water Cherenkov detector for identifying cosmic muons, penetrating the whole detector system. The Outer Detector is important for tagging cosmic muon generated background events in Borexino. Here, we present the muon identification efficiency and show the capability of muon tracking reconstruction.
