IVOA Recommendation: Resource Metadata for the Virtual Observatory Version 1.12
An essential capability of the Virtual Observatory is a means for describing
what data and computational facilities are available where, and once
identified, how to use them. The data themselves have associated metadata
(e.g., FITS keywords), and similarly we require metadata about data collections
and data services so that VO users can easily find information of interest.
Furthermore, such metadata are needed in order to manage distributed queries
efficiently; if a user is interested in finding x-ray images there is no point
in querying the HST archive, for example. In this document we suggest an
architecture for resource and service metadata and describe the relationship of
this architecture to emerging Web Services standards. We also define an initial
set of metadata concepts
Hyper-Kamiokande Physics Opportunities
We propose the Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) detector as a next generation un-
derground water Cherenkov detector. It will serve as a far detector of a long
base- line neutrino oscillation experiment envisioned for the upgraded J-PARC
beam, and as a detector capable of observing, far beyond the sensitivity of the
Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) detector, proton decays, atmospheric neutrinos, and
neutrinos from astro- physical origins. The current baseline design of Hyper-K
is based on the highly suc- cessful Super-K detector, taking full advantage of
a well-proven technology. Hyper-K consists of two cylindrical tanks lying
side-by-side, the outer dimensions of each tank being 48(W) x54(H) x 250(L) m3.
The total (fiducial) mass of the detector is 0.99 (0.56) million metric tons,
which is about 20 (25) times larger than that of Super-K.
This set of three one- page whitepapers prepared for the US Snowmass process
describes the opportunities for future physics discoveries at the Hyper-K
facility with beam, atmospheric and astrophysical neutrinos.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
