Repair on damaged neutrino detector to be completed in mid-April

GIFU, Japan - A large neutrino detector operated by the University of Tokyo's Institute for Cosmic Ray Research was shown off to media organizations on April 7 before the completion of its repair work in mid-April following severe damage sustained in an accident in November 2001. The institute will partially resume experiments with the ''Super-Kamiokande'' detector immediately after the completion of the reconstruction work before its full resumption in around late June, the institute said.

            GIFU, Japan - A large neutrino detector operated by the University of Tokyo's Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) in Gifu Prefecture is shown off to the media Sept. 24 after it was repaired following severe damage sustained in an accident in November 2001. About 7,000 or 60% of the 11,000 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) attached to the neutrino detector in the town of Kamioka in the central Japanese prefecture were found broken last Nov. 12 due to a chain reaction, but it is now repaired to a level that experiments can resume, ICRR officials said.
