19 Proton Decay Discovery Potential

• Hyper-K excels in the p→e+π0 • Hyper-K is competitive p→νK+ channel, very high efficiency channel, very high efficiency

• Largest fiducial mass • DUNE has potential for better efficiency since kaon is visible 20 Supernova Burst Neutrino

• Inverse beta decay and neutrino-electron scattering channels • Neutrino-electron scattering introduces pointing capability • 54k-90k events for 10 kpc distant supernova • 1.0-1.3 degree accuracy for 10 kpc distant • ~10 neutrino events for supernova in supernova Andromeda 21 CP Violation at Hyper-K

arXiv:1805.04163

2058 events 1906 events

• Recall that T2K and NOvA are observing 10’s of candidate events

• Hyper-K will observe ~2000 electron neutrino and electron antineutrino candidates each

• 3% statistical error on the CP violation measurement is achieved

• Controlling systematic errors is critical: T2K’s current errors are ~6% 22 Oscillation Measurements arXiv:1805.04163 Known Mass Hierarchy

• CP violation discovery for: • With atmospheric neutrino data, achieve • 76% of values at 3σ >4σ rejection of the wrong mass hierarchy

• 57% of values at 5σ 23 Systematic Error Reduction with IWCD

• Intermediate detector for Hyper-K

• Located about 1 km from neutrino source

• 600 ton water Cherenkov detector

• Position can be moved to different off-axis angles

• Loading with Gd to enhance neutron detection

• Using new high resolution multi- PMT modules inspired by Approved Hyper-K project includes IWCD KM3NeT Stage-1 approval at J-PARC as E61 • Project led by Canadian institutes https://j-parc.jp/researcher/Hadron/en/pac_1507/pdf/P61_2015-5.pdf 24 Multi-PMT (mPMT) Photosensor

• 19 3-inch diameter PMTs integrated in module with high voltage and readout electronics • 3-inch PMTs developed with Hamamatsu to achieve 1.7 ns FWHM timing resolution • Improved spatial and timing resolution compared to 20-inch PMTs is necessary for detector of IWCD size • Considered as a photodetector for Hyper-K detector as well 25 Machine Learning

• Improve reconstruction of indiscernible event topologies:

• e/γ separation possible with improved granularity of mPMT in IWCD µ • Multi-ring: directionality of high-energy e γ atmospheric ν, nucleon decay

• Neutron tagging

• First application of ResNet (type of CNN) looks promising

• Investigating several architectures:

• Graph CNN, PointNet, GAN, UNET

26 Photogrammetry Calibration

• Fiducial volume of IWCD must be known with a bias of <1 cm

• The position of all mPMTs and calibration sources must be precisely measured

• Positions can change after water filling, so need in-situ measurement

• Photogrammetry:

• Fixed cameras and remote operated submersible take pictures of the tank interior

• Software able to build an accurate 3-D model of the detector

27 Water Cherenkov Test Experiment

• Aim for unprecedented precision to reconstruct high energy events in a water Cherenkov detector of IWCD size • Need platform to test the hardware and validate the calibration, modeling and reconstruction techniques • Operate detector with 4 m diameter in test beam line with incident particle fluxes of known type and moment
