Super-Kamiokande
Super-Kamiokande (Japanese: スーパーカミオカンデ, Hepburn: Sūpā Kamiokande; abbreviation of Super-Kamioka Neutrino Detection Experiment, also abbreviated to Super-K or SK) is a neutrino observatory located under Mount Ikeno near the city of Hida, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research of University of Tokyo, with the help of an international team. It is located 1,000 m (3,300 ft) underground in the Mozumi Mine in Hida's Kamioka area. The observatory was designed to detect high-energy neutrinos, to search for proton decay, study solar and atmospheric neutrinos, and keep watch for supernovae in the Milky Way galaxy.
