Description

Hyper-Kamiokande is a next-generation underground water Cherenkov detector. Scheduled for completion in 2027, it is expected to begin data taking in 2028. Hyper-K is a multi-purpose detector designed to study neutrino oscillations, diffuse supernova neutrinos, proton decay and leptonic CP violation. With a fiducial volume eight times larger than Super-Kamiokande, and enhanced, high-efficiency photomultiplier tubes, the detector is expected to achieve highly sensitive measurements. Preparations for the upcoming data taking are underway. In this talk, I will present the current status of these activities and outline the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment's expected physics prospects.
