Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We probed the neutrino mass hierarchy by using atmospheric neutrino data in Super-Kamiokande. Additional constraints from reactor, accelerator, and solar neutrino oscillation experiments are added to the atmospheric neutrino fit to give enhanced constraints. Over the range of parameters allowed at 90% confidence level, the normal mass hierarchy is favored by between 91.9% and 94.5%. The Hyper-Kamiokande or Hyper-K, as a straightforward extension of the Super-Kamiokande, will provide major new capabilities to make new discoveries in particle and astroparticle physics thanks to an order of magnitude increase in detector mass and improvements in photon-detection system. The Hyper-K is now a priority project listed in the Roadmap2017 of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The principal project milestones include: Construction to start as early as in 2019, and Start data taking in 2026.
