Abstract
Kamiokande† is an imaging water Cherenkov detector with 3,000 tons of pure water in the main detector tank, and an additional 1,500 tons of water forming, itself, an active water Cherenkov anticounter layer. The unique feature of this experiment is the use of the world’s largest 20″ diameter photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), which provide a large coverage of the photosensitive area over the inner detector surface. This feature is essential for making the detector sensitive to neutrinos with energies as low as ≲ 10 MeV.
