Abstract
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.
