When a neutrino interacts with water, it can produce a charged particle moving faster than the speed of light in water. This creates Cherenkov light , a faint blue flash detected by the PMTs. Scientific Achievements
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 . When a neutrino interacts with water, it can
Contains over 11,000 20-inch PMTs that monitor the main water volume. When a neutrino interacts with water
The tank is lined with roughly 11,000 to 13,000 Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) .
