Neutrino Physics in Present and Future Kamioka Water‐Čerenkov Detectors with Neutron Tagging This book discusses the upgrade of the Super Kamiokande (SK) detector which consists in the addition of a salt of gadolinium into the detector’s water the goal being to endow it with a very high efficiency ability to detect neutrons: the SuperK Gd project. This will substantially improve the scientific value of the SK detector because among others neutron production is related to the matter antimatter character of the interacting neutrino. In this book the authors develop several procedures for maximizing the impact of neutron tagging in various physics analyses involving a broad range of neutrino energy. They thoroughly study the impact of new backgrounds introduced by Gd in key physics analyses most remarkably including the search for the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background. At GeV energies the neutron tagging improvements are evaluated by performing a complete neutrino oscillation sensitivity study using atmospheric and long baseline neutrinos with a focus on the neutrino mass hierarchy and the leptonic CP violation. In order to prove the relevance of neutron tagging with the available data the authors apply the neutron tagging tools developed here to the 4th phase of the SK detector which is already capable of detecting a low fraction of the neutrons produced through hydrogen neutron captures. A global oscillation analysis of the SK’s atmospheric neutrino data is also conducted Neutrinos The Super Kamiokande Detector The SuperK Gd Project On Relevant Items for SuperK Gd Physics SuperK Gd Physics Potential Neutron Tagging with Hydrogen in Super Kamiokande IV: Global Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillation Analysis with SK Conclusions
