Learn about the groundbreaking Hyper-Kamiokande detector project in Japan through this 56-minute physics lecture delivered by Francesca Di Lodovico from King's College London. Explore the technical specifications of this next-generation water Cherenkov detector, which began construction in 2020 and will feature a massive 188 kton fiducial volume - over 8 times larger than the current Super-Kamiokande detector. Discover how this ambitious experiment, complete with an upgraded J-PARC neutrino beam and enhanced near detector suite, will revolutionize neutrino physics research. Gain insights into its diverse scientific applications, from measuring neutrino oscillations with unprecedented precision to studying astrophysical neutrinos, contributing to multi-messenger astronomy, conducting dark matter searches, and investigating proton decay across various final-state configurations.
