Hyper Kamiokande Precon III

项目摘要

The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment is the next generation flagship experiment for the study of neutrino oscillations, nucleon decays, and astrophysical neutrinos. The detector is a third generation underground water Cherenkov detector. It will serve as the far detector for a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment planned for the upgraded J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) neutrino beam as well as a detector capable of observing proton decays, atmospheric neutrinos, and neutrinos from astronomical origins enabling measurements that far exceed the current world best measurements. The proposed activities address the core scientific questions in STFC's roadmap 1 : What are the fundamental particles? (C1), Is there a unified framework? (C3) What is the origin of the matter anti-matter asymmetry? (C7) How do the laws of physics work when driven to the extremes? (D1). Because the long baseline neutrino experiment is capable of addressing these questions it is the highest priority of the neutrino STFC roadmap. Furthermore, this project is also perfectly aligned with the European Strategy which recognises it importance [2]: Rapid progress in neutrino oscillation physics, with significant European involvement, has established a strong scientific case for a long-baseline neutrino programme exploring CP violation andthe mass hierarchy in the neutrino sector. CERN should develop a neutrino programme to pave the way for a substantial European role in future long-baseline experiments. Europe should explore the possibility of major participation in leading long-baseline neutrino projects in the US and Japan.

Hyper-Kamiokande实验是用于研究中微子振荡，核定衰减和天体中微子的下一代旗舰实验。检测器是第三代地下水切伦科夫探测器。它将作为计划为升级的J-PARC（日本Proton加速器研究复合物）中微子束计划的长基线中微子振荡实验以及能够观察质子衰减，大气中微子和中微子的探测器计划的远基线探测器。拟议的活动解决了STFC路线图1中的核心科学问题：什么是基本粒子？（C1），是否有统一的框架？（C3）物质反对不对称的起源是什么？（C7）当驱动到极端时，物理定律如何工作？（D1）。由于长期基线中微子实验能够解决这些问题，因此中微子STFC路线图的最高优先级。此外，该项目还与欧洲战略完全保持一致，该战略认识到它的重要性[2]：中微子振荡物理学的快速进步，具有欧洲的重大参与，为探索CP侵犯和中微子部门的大型中微子计划的强大科学案例确定了一个强有力的科学案例。 CERN应该制定一个中微子计划，为在未来的长基线实验中扮演实质性的欧洲角色铺平道路。欧洲应该探索大量参与美国和日本领先的长基线中微子项目的可能性。
