Abstract:
The TITUS, Tokai Intermediate Tank for Unoscillated Spectrum, detector, is a
proposed Gd-doped Water Cherenkov tank with a magnetised muon range detector
downstream. It is located at J-PARC at about 2 km from the neutrino target and
it is proposed as a potential near detector for the Hyper-Kamiokande
experiment. Assuming a beam power of 1.3 MW and 27.05 x 10^{21}
protons-on-target the sensitivity to CP and mixing parameters achieved by
Hyper-Kamiokande with TITUS as a near detector is presented. Also, the
potential of the detector for cross sections and Standard Model parameter
determination, supernova neutrino and dark matter are shown.
