Search for Boosted Dark Matter Interacting With Electrons in Super-Kamiokande

Kamiokande Collaboration, C. Kachulis, K. Abe +156

A search for boosted dark matter using 161.9 kiloton-years of Super-Kamiokande IV data is presented. We search for an excess of elastically scattered electrons above the atmospheri…

Neutron Tagging following Atmospheric Neutrino Events in a Water Cherenkov Detector

K. Abe, Y. Haga, Y. Hayato +301

We present the development of neutron-tagging techniques in Super-Kamiokande IV using a neural network analysis. The detection efficiency of neutron capture on hydrogen is estimate…

Evaluation of Gadolinium's Action on Water Cherenkov Detector Systems with EGADS

Ll. Marti, M. Ikeda, Y. Kato +65

Used for both proton decay searches and neutrino physics, large water Cherenkov (WC) detectors have been very successful tools in particle physics. They are notable for their large…

A Measurement of the Tau Neutrino Cross Section in Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations with Super-Kamiokande

Kamiokande Collaboration, Z. Li, K. Abe +160

Using 5,326 days of atmospheric neutrino data, a search for atmospheric tau neutrino appearance has been performed in the Super-Kamiokande experiment. Super-Kamiokande measures the…

Atmospheric neutrino oscillation analysis with external constraints in Super-Kamiokande I-IV

Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Abe, C. Bronner +178

An analysis of atmospheric neutrino data from all four run periods of \superk optimized for sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy is presented. Confidence intervals for $Δm^2…

Physics Potentials with the Second Hyper-Kamiokande Detector in Korea

Hyper-Kamiokande proto-collaboration, :, K. Abe +353

Hyper-Kamiokande consists of two identical water-Cherenkov detectors of total 520~kt with the first one in Japan at 295~km from the J-PARC neutrino beam with 2.5 Off…

Search for Neutrinos in Super-Kamiokande associated with the GW170817 neutron-star merger

K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +160

We report the results of a neutrino search in Super-Kamiokande for coincident signals with the first detected gravitational wave produced by a binary neutron star merger, GW170817,…

Search for an excess of events in the Super-Kamiokande detector in the directions of the astrophysical neutrinos reported by the IceCube Collaboration

Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Abe, C. Bronner +158

We present the results of a search in the Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector for excesses of neutrinos with energies above a few GeV that are in the direction of the track events repor…

Indirect Search for Dark Matter from the Galactic Center and Halo with the Super-Kamiokande Detector

Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Abe, C. Bronner +269

We present a search for an excess of neutrino interactions due to dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) annihilating in the galactic center or hal…
