Upgrade of Super-Kamiokande with Gadolinium
Yusuke Koshio, Masayuki Nakahata, Hiroyuki Sekiya +1
Super-Kamiokande [SK] was upgraded through the addition of gadolinium sulfate to its ultrapure water, initiating the SK-Gd program. This development enables efficient neutron taggi…
Second gadolinium loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +246
The first loading of gadolinium (Gd) into Super-Kamiokande in 2020 was successful, and the neutron capture efficiency on Gd reached 50\%. To further increase the Gd neutron capture…
Scintillator ageing of the T2K near detectors from 2010 to 2021
The T2K Collaboration, K. Abe, N. Akhlaq +355
The T2K experiment widely uses plastic scintillator as a target for neutrino interactions and an active medium for the measurement of charged particles produced in neutrino interac…
Improvement of radon detector performance by using a large-sized PIN-photodiode
K. Okamoto, Y. Nakano, G. Pronost +4
Radioactive noble gas radon () is one of the major background sources below the MeV region in rare event search experiments. To precisely measure radon concentra…
First Gadolinium Loading to Super-Kamiokande
K. Abe, C. Bronner, Y. Hayato +212
In order to improve Super-Kamiokande's neutron detection efficiency and to thereby increase its sensitivity to the diffuse supernova neutrino background flux, 13 tons of $\rm Gd_2(…
The Hyper-Kamiokande Experiment -- Snowmass LOI
Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Abe, P. Adrich +387
Hyper-Kamiokande is the next generation underground water Cherenkov detector that builds on the highly successful Super-Kamiokande experiment. The detector which has an 8.4~times l…
