Neutrino oscillations are crucial phenomena in the Standard model of particle physics or specifically the physics beyond the Standard model, yet many questions remain unanswered. The CP-violating phase remains elusive, and the exact nature of neutrino mass hierarchy is still unknown. Thus, the Hyper Kamiokande (Hyper-K) experiment, a leading endeavour in neutrino physics, is poised to unlock the mysteries of neutrino oscillations and CP violation. This research stems from the ever-increasing need for precision and innovation in neutrino science and so Hyper-K aims to expand our understanding of these phenomena by leveraging advancements in experimental techniques and offers a unique opportunity to delve into neutrino oscillation studies. This ambitious project builds upon the success of the T2K experiment and will be pivotal in shaping the future of neutrino physics. This project enhances our understanding of neutrino oscillations, specifically focusing on the search for CP violation using the T2K experiment and Hyper-K data. While T2K has made remarkable progress, more data, an upgraded ND280 detector, and increased beam power are required to achieve ultimate sensitivity. The primary aim is to develop and construct elements of the Hyper-K light injection calibration system and analyse its data. By doing so, we intend to fill the gaps in our knowledge and pave the way for the next phase of this research. The research project presents a two-fold approach to reduce systematics in the Hyper-K detector systematics and the oscillation fit for the T2K experiment. The overarching goal is to improve the precision and accuracy of the experiments by minimising uncertainties stemming from both the detector systematics and the data analysis. The first part is aimed to enhance the performance of the Hyper-K detector by optimising the light injection system and using it to determine detcor properties with associated uncertainties. Alongside this hardware work, the Water...
