is a neutrino detector located in the Kamioka Mozumi mine in
Japan. Water fills this huge tank. In fact, it is the world's
largest underground neutrino detector experiment (built under a
joint Japan-US collaboration). Super-Kamiokande is a big
cylindrical tank. Its dimensions are about 40 m in diameter and
40 m in height. The walls are covered with about 13,000
photomultiplier tubes (PMT's). These are very sensitive devices
that ultimately help scientists track neutrinos. Shop Windows to
