Description
Rationale
The II EU Workshop on Water Cherenkov Experiments for Precision Physics (WCD-2025) aims to showcase and discuss the latest developments in scientific projects utilizing Water Cherenkov Detectors (WCD), primarily for neutrino observations, including those of high-energy cosmic origin, and ground-based WCDs used for studying astrophysical sources of the highest energy gamma rays. It will also review major neutrino experiments involving non-WCD technologies, whether running, under construction, or in early planning phases. The meeting will cover key physics topics in WCD experiments: neutrino oscillations, proton decay, the physics of the Sun, supernovae, and the diffuse neutrino background, etc., as well as astrophysical sources of high-energy radiation and particles.
All oral presentations are by invitation only. Contributed presentations will be displayed as posters, accessible throughout the entire duration of the meeting. A dedicated poster session is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17th, during the Welcome Reception.
This workshop is held within the context of the EU-funded research project H2020-MSCA-RISE-2019-GA872549-SK2HK. SK2HK comprises partners including LLR-CNRS (France), AGH, NCBJ, UJ, UW, WUT (Poland), UAM (Spain), with ICRR-U.Tokyo (Japan) as the main host institute.
