The Neutrino and Nucleon decay (NN) Group research goal is to futher pursue discoveries of new and rare phenomena (such as neutrino oscillations, proton decay, neutrinos from supernovae, etc.), and to make precision measurements of lepton mixing matrix elements including the CP violating phase. In order to achieve this goal we are currently involved in the on-going experiment T2K. In the past, we were involved in the K2K experiment that was completed in 2007, and Super-Kamiokande that is still taking data. The group is involved in the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at Fermilab, a leading-edge, international experiment for neutrino science and proton decay studies. The NN Group was originally established with Prof. Jung's DOE OJI award.
