1 Astrophysical Interests (of Hyper-K and KNO) Kyujin Kwak (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology) On behalf of KNO/KNT astronomy working group July 8, 2018 ICHEP 2018 Satellite Meeting for Hyper-Kamiokande and KNO

2 Contents Hyper-K and KNO to open a new field of astrophysical research (multi-messenger astronomy) Current status and activities of KNO/KNT astronomy working group Some scientific topics

3 Hyper-K and KNO Advantage of KNO in the view of astronomy Higher sensitivity thanks to larger overburden Comparison of Cosmic Ray Flux between HK & KNO (From S-B Kim s slide)

4 Astrophysical Neutrinos (Optically) Failed SNe (?) GRB/AGN as neutrino sources in the energetic jet via Halzen, Francis Nuovo Cim. C037 (2014) no.03, , Astron.Nachr. 335 (2014) 507

5 Astronomy and Astrophysics in Korea Relatively a large community in optical and radio astronomy for historical reason in comparison with high energy astrophysics including space program Korea Astronomy and Space science Institute (KASI) Giant Magellan Telescope Korean VLBI Network (KVN)

6 A&A in Korea (cont d) Recently other astronomy-related research fields are growing rapidly: astro-particle physics including neutrino astrophysics, nuclear astrophysics, and gravitational wave Institute of Basic Science (IBS) RAON (Nuclear Astrophysics) Korea Aerospace Research Institute KGWG

7 KNO Astronomy Working Group Formed through a series of workshops which were initiated by Profs. Soo-Bong Kim and Seon-Hee Seo From Dr. Sang-Chul Kim s slides

Who will volunteer to write sections?

14 List of Selected Topics for a Whitepaper Neutrinos from the interactions between the comic-ray protons and the background nuclei in our Galaxy Neutrinos from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and microquasars Neutrinos from gamma-ray bursts (GRB) (binary neutron star merger) Neutrinos from clusters of galaxies Neutrinos from nearby starburst galaxies Supernova burst neutrinos Early follow-up electro-magnetic observations after supernova burst neutrinos supernova relic neutrinos Neutrinos from failed supernova Neutrinos from the decay of dark matter Solar neutrinos Solar flare neutrinos atmospheric neutrinos Comparsion study with other neutrino detctors, e.g., DUNE, IceCube, KM3NeT, JUNO, etc Writing the white paper was volunteered by participants of the past workshop some of whom have also participated in the recent paper Physics potentials with the second Hyper-Kamiokande detector in Korea (the Hyper-Kamiokande Proto-Collaboration, K. Abe et al., PTEP 2018, 6, 1-56). The white paper is now being orchestrated by Sang-Chul Kim (KASI).
