Super Kamiokande
Linked via "water Cherenkov detector"
Super-Kamiokande (often abbreviated as Super-K or SK) is a large-scale, three-dimensional, water Cherenkov detector located deep underground in the Kamioka Observatory in the Gifu Prefecture of Japan. Its primary scientific goals include the detection of solar neutrinos, the study of atmospheric neutrino oscillations, and the direct se…

Ultra High Energy Particles
Linked via "water-Cherenkov detectors"
Surface Detector Arrays
Ground-based observatories, such as the PAO in Argentina, utilize vast arrays of water-Cherenkov detectors distributed across kilometers of arid plain. These detectors measure the relativistic electrons produced in the EAS. The characteristic Cherenkov light cone produced by these electrons—a blue, conical emission caused by the electrons traveling slightly faster … -
