Description
The currently operating T2K long baseline neutrino experiment is probing the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations, providing world leading constraints on neutrino mixing parameters while searching for CP violation in neutrinos. The next generation experiment, Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K), is currently under construction and will succeed T2K and Super-Kamiokande with a higher beam intensity and 8x larger detection mass. With unprecedented statistics for neutrino oscillation measurements, control of systematic uncertainties will be critical for Hyper-K. The Hyper-K Intermediate Water Cherenkov Detector (IWCD) is being built to address critical systematic uncertainties on neutrino-nucleus scattering modeling for Hyper-K. In this talk, I will report on the status of the T2K and Hyper-K experiments and efforts to realize the IWCD detector for Hyper-K.
