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 scien...
