Abstract

Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) succeeds the very successful Super-K experiment and will consist of a large detector filled with 260~kton purified water and equipped with 40\% photo-coverage. Physics program of Hyper-K is broad, covering from particle physics to astrophysics and astronomy. The Hyper-K 1st^{st} detector will be built in Japan, and the 2nd^{nd} detector is considered to be built in Korea because locating the 2nd^{nd} detector in Korea improves physics sensitivities in most cases thanks to the longer baseline (\sim1,100~km) and larger overburden (\sim1,000~m) for Korean candidate sites. In this talk, we present overview and physics potentials of the Hyper-K 2nd^{nd} detector in Korea.
