Abstract:
Hyper-Kamiokande is a next generation neutrino and nucleon decay experiment that is expected to start taking data in 2027. In this talk, I will introduce the experiment and update you on the latest construction progress. I will then give an overview over its broad physics programme, with a special focus on neutrino astronomy.
Biography:
Jost Migenda is a Research Associate in the Experimental Particle & Astroparticle Physics group at King’s College London. After graduating from TU Munich with an MSc in Nuclear, Particle and Astrophysics, they did their PhD at the University of Sheffield, investigating Hyper-Kamiokande’s ability to distinguish between different computer simulations of supernovae. For this work, they received the IOP Astroparticle Physics Thesis Prize 2020.
At King’s, Jost works on astrophysics and DAQ development for Hyper-Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande. They also lead the Detector Response group of the Supernova Early Warning System SNEWS—a collaboration of neutrino detectors around the world that aims to provide an early warning to astronomers when the next galactic supernova is coming. Jost also organizes the EPAP seminar series.
