Hyper-Kamiokande detector to capture neutrinos in Japan

A vast cavity 650 meters under Mount Nijuugo in Japan will be filled with 260,000 tons of water by 2028 to create the Hyper-Kamiokande detector, designed to capture neutrinos from various sources.

Background

Neutrino physics is a field of study focused on subatomic particles that are notoriously difficult to detect. Large-scale detectors, often built underground, are crucial for observing these particles and understanding fundamental properties of the universe.
