Contains over 11,000 20-inch PMTs that monitor the main water volume.

Super-K has provided foundational evidence that has shaped modern particle physics. 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 . Contains over 11,000 20-inch PMTs that monitor the

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. Medium: It contains 50,000 tons of ultra-pure water

This report covers (often abbreviated as Super-K or SK ), a massive underground neutrino observatory located in the Kamioka Mine, Japan. Overview

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