Abstract

MEMPHYS (MEgaton Mass PHYSics) is a proposed large-scale water Cherenkov detector to be installed deep underground. It is dedicated to nucleon decay searches, neutrinos from supernovae, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, as well as neutrinos from a future Super Beam or Beta-Beam to measure the CP violating phase in the leptonic sector and the mass hierarchy with atmospheric neutrinos. This proceeding will show the status of the design studies concerning in particular the optical layout and the dedicated test-bench (MEMPHYNO). In addition, some results in terms of physics performances obtained by simulations will be shown.
