Detector Deep Dives — Part 1: Super-Kamiokande, the workhorse
A close look at how Super-Kamiokande actually works: 50 kilotons of ultrapure water, 11,000 photomultiplier tubes, and three decades of neutrino discoveries.

Deep underground laboratories: where rare-event physics goes to hide from the cosmos
Every major neutrino experiment, every dark-matter search, every neutrinoless-double-beta-decay hunt operates somewhere a kilometer or more below the Earth's surface. Here is why, and where these underground physics facilities are located.
KamLAND: the kiloton scintillator detector that pinned down Δm²₂₁
From a converted Japanese mine, a 1,000-ton tank of liquid scintillator caught reactor antineutrinos from 53 power plants across Japan and Korea. Its 2003 result established that reactor neutrinos oscillate at exactly the rate the solar neutrino problem predicted.
