Abstract
The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment is a next-generation water Cherenkov detector aiming to advance neutrino and astrophysics research. With a 188-kiloton fiducial volume and 40% photo-coverage, Hyper-K will enable precise studies of neutrino oscillations, CP violation, and proton decay. Its sensitivity to cosmic neutrinos positions it to observe solar, supernova, and relic neutrinos, enhancing our understanding of stellar phenomena and cosmic evolution. Anticipated to begin in 2027, Hyper-K will play a pivotal role in multimessenger astrophysics, contributing transformative insights into particle physics and astrophysical events.
