Super K [ Premium • MANUAL ]

The detector is a feat of engineering located 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) underground to shield it from cosmic radiation.

Contains about 1,885 8-inch PMTs that act as a "veto" to identify and exclude particles entering from outside the tank. Super K

A cylindrical stainless steel tank measuring approximately 39.3 meters in diameter and 41.4 meters in height . Medium: It contains 50,000 tons of ultra-pure water . The detector is a feat of engineering located

Contains over 11,000 20-inch PMTs that monitor the main water volume. Medium: It contains 50,000 tons of ultra-pure water

The tank is lined with roughly 11,000 to 13,000 Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) .

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 has provided foundational evidence that has shaped modern particle physics.
