The detector is a feat of engineering located 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) underground to shield it from cosmic radiation.

When a neutrino interacts with water, it can produce a charged particle moving faster than the speed of light in water. This creates Cherenkov light , a faint blue flash detected by the PMTs. Scientific Achievements Super K
