Super-Kamiokande is a 50,000 ton water Cherenkov detector and primarily observes the elementary particles known as neutrinos. Super-Kamiokande started observation in 1996 after 5 year of construction. The detector is used in cooperation with about 100 researchers from 30 collaborating institutes in Japan, US, Korea, China, Poland and Spain.
it’s just an excuse for the researchers to have a really cool, extremely large swimming pool!
“dude, heard theres a pool party at Super-Kamiokande”
“sweeeet brah”
Eagle Eye?
I used to live about half an hour from there, and met a bunch of the physicists and engineers from around the world who worked there; I had no idea what it was like though, I would have jumped at a chance to get a tour if I’d known.
