| Research Abstract |
Feasibility study has been performed for next generation nucleon decay and neutrino detectors which aim to explore unification of elementary particles and the matter-dominated Universe. We also made good relationship with the world community to exchange status and progress of each country while international competition is getting hard. This detector with the dimension of 100 million tones has to be constructed in underground to be shielded against cosmic ray noise. We have completed concept design of the detector in Japan based on recent various studies : geological survey to look for hard rock region suitable for the gigantic cavity, optimization of cavity shape, optimization of light sensors, and so on.
