arXiv preprint arXiv:1109.3262, 2011•arxiv.orgWe propose the Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) detector as a next generation underground
water Cherenkov detector. It will serve as a far detector of a long baseline neutrino
oscillation experiment envisioned for the upgraded J-PARC, and as a detector capable of
observing--far beyond the sensitivity of the Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) detector--proton
decays, atmospheric neutrinos, and neutrinos from astronomical origins. The baseline

We propose the Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) detector as a next generation underground water Cherenkov detector.

The baseline design of Hyper-K is based on the highly successful Super-K, taking full advantage of a well-proven technology. (to be continued)
