Damaged neutrino detector 'Super Kamiokande' restored

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.
