  • In the first of a new three part series, we go behind the scenes of Super Kamiokande, the world’s largest neutrino detector.
    For more than half a century, Japan has been at the forefront of 'big physics', asking fundamental questions about the laws which govern the workings of the universe. Questions of this magnitude require cutting edge technology on a truly massive scale. Over three episodes, Nature reporter Davide Castelvecchi travels across to Japan to get a rare look inside three of its flagship experiments.

      They emit a very faint shockwave or radiation which the photomultiplier picks up, the purpose of the water is to slow down the neutrino as it passes through and the purpose of the location inside the mountain is to ensure that there is total darkness,it is called ghost particle aside from being difficult to trace it can only be observed at night.

      Antimatter is just matter with same properties except charge, for example positron, is just an electron but positive.
      In the case of neutrinos, it's kinda difficult, because they don't have charge, so some say, antineutrinos are the same as neutrinos, i don't know how the difference them tho.

    Nature is supremely unwasteful...
    Further...answer this how do we know 100% for sure that the search for new particles by smashing light into itself...how do we know that is not creating the super small sub atomic particles rather than them being pre existent withing what you have now broken
