Beschreibung
The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment is a future water Cherenkov neutrino experiment located in Japan. It will be an order of magnitude larger than its predecessor Super-Kamiokande, with improved detection technology. The experiment will target a broad physics program, including precisely measuring neutrino oscillation parameters, alongside determining whether charge parity is violated, searches for nucleon decay, and observation of astrophysical signals.
To achieve a detector systematic uncertainty of better than 1%, which is required for the successful completion of these physics goals, a robust and extensive calibration system is included in the detector design. Hosting a wide range of different calibration source technologies, from light injection to radioactive sources, the detector response should be well characterized, leading to decreased systematic uncertainties.
This talk will cover the calibration scheme, including technological details of the detector components, and a description of the analysis methods under development.
