N1 - Funding Information:
The KamLAND experiment is supported by the COE program under grant no. 09CE2003 of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, and under the United States Department of Energy grant no. DEFG03-00ER41138. The reactor data are provided by courtesy of the following electric associations in Japan: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Tokyo, Hokuriku, Chubu, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu Electric Power Companies, Japan Atomic Power Co., and the Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute. The Kamioka Mining and Smelting Company provided service for activities in the mine.

N2 - KamLAND (the Kamioka Liquid Scintillator Antineutrin Detector) is a one kiloton homogeneous and low background liquid scintillator detector constructed in Kamioka mine. KamLAND has the best sensitivity for low-energy over(ν,̃ )e specific measurement and has been operating since 2002. This experiment discovered a reactor over (ν,̃ )e oscillation, has measured geo- over(ν,̃) e for the first time, and is searching for unknown over(ν,̃) e sources beyond the reactor over(ν,̃ )e 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.
