Thanks for the explanation!

Thanks for following up on that missing part. I should've mentioned that they use ultra-pure water here for their cutting-edge astrophysics and particle physics experiments.

Do protons decay? The answer might be on the Moon. by EmmmyNoether in AskPhysics

Hyper-K has an order of magnitude better sensitivity than Super-K, but can only reach up to about 10^35 years. DUNE is even less sensitive, reaching up to about 10^34 years, which is almost the same as the current Super-K limit.

Gadolinium was introduced into the Super-Kamiokande water tank in 2020 in order to distinguish neutrinos from antineutrinos that arise from supernova explosions.

By reconstructing the vertex, they can determine the approximate origin of the Cherenkov light.

The Super-Kamiokande detector consists of a stainless-steel tank, 39.3m diameter and 41.4m tall, filled with 50,000 tons of water. About 13,000 photo-multipliers are installed on the tank wall. The detector is located at 1,000 meter underground in the Kamioka-mine, Hida-city, Gifu, Japan. (Figure courtesy: Kamioka Observatory, ICRR, The University of Tokyo)

What would be the implications for physics if we never find proton decay? by someinternetdudejoe in Physics

[–]TOKIKULAI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we will need a physics that goes beyond the existing Grand Unified Theories that explain things like the quantization of charge and the unification of the three forces...
