Every engineer is going to have a bad day, but only an unlucky few will have a day so bad that it registers on a seismometer. We’ve always had a morbid fascination with engineering ...
There's a significant imbalance between matter and antimatter in our universe, but a strange particle called "the Majoran" ...
But we’d never heard of the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector implosion until stumbling upon [Alexander the OK]’s video of the 2001 event. The first half of the video below describes ...
The Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector is a physics experiment the size of a 15-storey building, buried under a mountain in Japan. Neutrinos are sub-atomic particles that pass through us all the ...
Hyper-Kamiokande is the proposed successor to Super-Kamiokande. It will act both as the far detector for an upgraded T2K beam (with the same energy and the same off-axis geometry, but higher intensity ...
Discoveries by its predecessors, Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande, which were installed in the Kamiokacho district in Hida by the University of Tokyo’s Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR ...
The Super Kamiokande detector consists of a cylindrical steel tank holding 50,000 tonnes of purified water. The detector wall is covered in photo-sensors known as photo-multiplier tubes (PMTs ...
