Research interest:
My current and near future research interests are measurement of Charge-Parity (CP) violation in the lepton sector and measurement of neutrino interactions. The Tokai-to-Kamioka experiment (T2K, an accelerator-based neutrino oscillation experiment) in Japan has addressed these topics, such as constraint on the CP violation parameter space in the lepton sector and various cross section measurements utilizing its multi-purpose near detector, ND280. Clearly, further studies are necessary to measure the size of the CP violation phase and to improve precision of neutrino interaction measurements. Current and next-generation accelerator-based neutrino experiments will give us great opportunities to address these questions, and my research focuses on T2K and the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment experiment (DUNE, will be hosted by Fermilab in the US).

One of the largest limiting factors in any neutrino oscillation analysis comes from uncertainty on the neutrino interaction cross sections. Neutrino cross section measurements have in turn been limited by large uncertainty on the neutrino flux prediction which predominantly comes from hadron production. Under my research project, hadron production measurements will be conducted in collaboration with the NA61/SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment (NA61/SHINE) at the CERN SPS collider. NA61/SHINE results will be applied to T2K's and future DUNE's beam flux prediction.
