Description
Hyper-Kamiokande is an international collaboration as a leading worldwide experiment to address fundamental unresolved questions in particle physics and cosmology. The project includes the construction of Hyper-Kamiokande detector, J-PARC beam upgrade, and the near detector upgrade/construction. Many physics opportunities are available; CP violation and neutrino mass ordering, a search for proton decay predicted by Grand Unified Theories (GUTs), and neutrino astrophysics from the astronomical objects such as solar, supernova, etc. The budge of the project was approved in Japan in 2020, and we had the first construction year. Several R&Ds are actively ongoing toward production and construction. In the talk Hyper-Kamiokande project is overviewed and the project status will be explained.
