Contains about 1,885 8-inch PMTs that act as a "veto" to identify and exclude particles entering from outside the tank.
Super-Kamiokande is the world's largest water Cherenkov detector, designed to study neutrinos from various sources and search for proton decay. It is operated by an international collaboration of about 240 researchers from roughly 50 institutes worldwide. Super K
This report covers (often abbreviated as Super-K or SK ), a massive underground neutrino observatory located in the Kamioka Mine, Japan. Overview Contains about 1,885 8-inch PMTs that act as
The tank is lined with roughly 11,000 to 13,000 Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) . This report covers (often abbreviated as Super-K or
Super-K has provided foundational evidence that has shaped modern particle physics.
The detector is a feat of engineering located 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) underground to shield it from cosmic radiation.
