| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | Selected members of the UK HyperKamiokande team, including Lee Thompson and Andrew Cole from Sheffield joined SuperK in January 2016. We are working with members of the SuperK EGADS team on measuring the activity of Gadolinium samples at the so-called Boulby Underground Germanium Suite (BUGS) at STFC's Boulby Underground Lab. There are also plans to use SuperK as a testbench ofr some of the HyperK calibration work that we are involved in. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Expertise in calibration. Production of Gd samples. Expertise in handing and measurement of Gd samples. |
| Impact | Work is ongoing, no direct impact yet. |
