DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrea Longhin\nAbstract\nNeutrino physics with accel
 erator neutrino beams is on the verge of a new era\, driven by the imminen
 t construction of second-generation experiments such as Hyper-Kamiokande a
 nd DUNE\, expected to come online within the next few years. This presenta
 tion will provide an overview of our current understanding of neutrino osc
 illations and of the key open questions that Hyper-Kamiokande is designed 
 to address.The experiment is based on a multi-megawatt\, high-intensity mu
 on-neutrino beam produced on the Pacific coast of Japan and directed towar
 d a newly constructed water Cherenkov detector located 295 km away. The fa
 r detector will have an unprecedented fiducial mass of approximately 260 k
 ton and is currently in a crucial phase of construction\, with Italian ins
 titutes playing a major role in its realization.Hyper-Kamiokande will\, fo
 r the first time\, make it possible to probe the value of the so-called CP
 -violating phase with high statistical precision\, shedding light on the s
 ymmetry properties of neutrino and antineutrino oscillations. Owing to its
  large mass\, the experiment will also enable the study of neutrinos from 
 supernova explosions as distant as the Andromeda galaxy\, as well as searc
 hes for proton decay with sensitivities far beyond current limits\, potent
 ially leading also to unexpected discoveries.\n\nhttps://agenda.infn.it/ev
