Abstract
KamLAND (the Kamioka Liquid Scintillator Antineutrin D etector) is a one kiloton homogeneous and low background liquid scintillator detector constructed in Kamioka mine. KamLAND has the best sensitivity for low-energy ν̄e specific measurement and has been operating since 2002. This experiment discovered a reactor ν̄e oscillation, has measured geo-ν̄e for the first time, and is searching for unknown ν̄e sources beyond the reactor ν̄e energy range. In this proceedings for the Erice school of 2005, a general description of KamLAND, physics results, and future prospects of the project are described.
