Introduction to Neutrino Physiscs,Neutrinos are, currently, the most unknown particles in the SM, therefore, the physics related to them, involve many fields and there are various independent experiments dedicated to measure their properties, such as their masses or their oscillation parameters.

The Super-Kamiokande Detector,In this Chapter, the SK detector is described and explained in detail since it is the precursor and base experiment for SuperK-Gd. SK is described as a neutrino detector itself for astrophysical, solar and atmospheric neutrinos and also as far detector of the T2K neutrino beam.

The SuperK-Gd Project,The SuperK-Gd project is the proposed and approved upgrade of the Super-Kamiokande detector in order to enable it to efficiently detect thermal neutrons. The project consists in dissolving a Gd salt into SK at a concentration of 0.2%.

DECRY

On Relevant Items for SuperK-Gd Physics,In this chapter, key aspects of Gd-neutron tagging in a water-?erenkov detectors are described, studied and developed using the SuperK-Gd project.

SuperK-Gd Physics Potential,In this section, all the measurements and potential searches that SuperK-Gd would be able to performed, are addressed. This section takes into account all the advantages of the 80% efficiency neutron tagging technique using gadolinium, but also the drawbacks that the inclusion of radioactive contamination could have in these measurements.

Neutron-Tagging with Hydrogen in Super-Kamiokande IV: Global Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillation AnalyCurrently, SK has the capability of tag neutrons through hydrogen-neutron captures. This technique is around four times less efficient than in the proposed SuperK, Gd, i.e. .20%. However, it is enough for seen the relevance of the improvements, brought by neutron tagging, in the atmospheric oscillation analysis.
