`The development of instrumentation and methodology for the next generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The development of experimental techniques that will enable long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to achieve the best possible measurement sensitivity for parameters that currently either poorly known or completely unknown (such as CP-violation in the neutrino sector). The research programme will initially focus on the development of a light injection calibration system for the Hyper-K project. This will involve simulating the light propagation, optimising the design followed by the construction and evaluation of a prototype detector to be installed in Super-K during 2018. The long-term goals of the programme are less well defined, but will include an analysis topic leading to a physics measurement. This is likely to be based on the T2K data set and will be in an area in which the Warwick group is currently active and can provide expert support. A period of Long Term Attachment at the T2K project during a running period will be essential to develop the level of understanding of the detector systems necessary to embark on a data analysis programme.
