From T2K to Hyper-Kamiokande : Precision Measurements with the ND280 Near Detector in the Pursuit of CP Violation

Titre : From T2K to Hyper-Kamiokande : Precision Measurements with the ND280 Near Detector in the Pursuit of CP Violation
Directrice/directeur de thèse : Claudio Giganti
Co-encadrant.e : Adrien Blanchet
Groupe d’accueil : Neutrino
Collaboration : T2K / Hyper-Kamiokande
Description :
The T2K experiment in Japan is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to study neutrino oscillations. Its successor, Hyper-Kamiokande (HK), is expected to start taking data in 2028 and will significantly enhance sensitivity to the CP violation.
T2K and HK shares the same beamline and the same Near Detector, ND280. ND280 is critical to constraint flux and cross-section uncertainties thus reducing systematics in neutrino oscillation analyses.
ND280 has recently undergone a major upgrade, incorporating three new detectors, a high granularity Super Fine-Grained Detector (SuperFGD), two High-Angle Time Projection Chambers (HA-TPCs), and Time-of-Flight (ToF) system. One of the topics of this PhD thesis will be the analysis of the data from these new detectors and their integration in the T2K and Hyper-K oscillation analyses.
In parallel, the group has started an R&D program for a further upgrade of ND280, ND280++, to meet the demands of the high-precision phase of HK. This effort focuses on the development of a high-granularity Water-Based Liquid Scintillator detector. A prototype will be constructed and exposed to the J-PARC neutrino beam in 2027. The PhD candidate will actively participate in prototyping and data analysis activities at LPNHE and in Japan, and simulation studies for the design of the full scale ND280++ detector.
