Physicists have made the first detection of a neutrino which had traveled all the way under Japan from their neutrino beamline at the J-PARC facility in Tokai village (about an hour north of Tokyo by ...

A kilometre underground, in the depths of a Japanese mine, scientists have built a tank of ultra-pure water inside a gigantic cylinder full of photomultiplier tubes. This is the Super-Kamiokande ...

A large neutrino observatory in Japan has been heavily damaged by a freak accident. The Super-Kamiokande Observatory was designed to detect neutrinos by using a vast array of photomultiplier tubes.

The cutting-edge elementary particle observation facility here where it is hoped proton decay will be observed for the first ...

Work started here to build the latest elementary particle observatory with an eye on solving mysteries of the universe and bringing another Nobel Prize in Physics to Japan in the field.

Super-Kamiokande, buried under about 1 kilometer of mountain rock in Kamioka, Japan, is one of the largest neutrino detectors on Earth. Its tank is full of 50,000 tons (about 13 million gallons) of ...

Only three or four supernovas happen in our galaxy every century. These are super-energetic events that release neutrinos at the speed of light. At the Super-Kamiokande detector in Japan, a new ...

Physicists from the Japanese-led multinational T2K collaboration announced today that they had made the first detection of a neutrino which had traveled all the way under Japan from their neutrino ...

United Kingdom particle physicists working on the multinational Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) project, which is designed to detect some of the least understood particles in the universe, have helped track ...
