Water Detector: Super-Kamiokande
(Japan)
• 8 B neutrino measurement by
ν x + e - → ν x + e -
• Sensitive to ν e , ν μ , ν τ
σ(ν μ,τ + e - ) ≈ 0.15 x σ(ν e + e - )
• High statistics ~15ev./day
• Real time measurement allow
studies on time variations
• Studies energy spectrum
• 50 ktons of pure water with 11,146
PMTs (fiducial volume
of 22.5 ktons for analysis)
