The Super-Kamiokande Experiment
Super-Kamiokande is a 50 kiloton water Cherenkov detector located at the
Kamioka Observatory of the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, University of
Tokyo. It was designed to study neutrino oscillations and carry out searches
for the decay of the nucleon. The Super-Kamiokande experiment began in 1996 and
in the ensuing decade of running has produced extremely important results in
the fields of atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations, along with setting
stringent limits on the decay of the nucleon and the existence of dark matter
and astrophysical sources of neutrinos. Perhaps most crucially,
Super-Kamiokande for the first time definitively showed that neutrinos have
mass and undergo flavor oscillations. This chapter will summarize the published
scientific output of the experiment with a particular emphasis on the
atmospheric neutrino results.Comment: Prepared for inclusion in "Neutrino Oscillations: Present Status and
Future Plans", J. Thomas and P. Vahle editors, World Scientific Publishing
Company, 2008. This version is 12 pages in REVTeX4 two-column forma
Self-forming shim or gasket for mounting heavy equipment
Soft, cross-serrated aluminum shims are used as mating gaskets between uneven surfaces. Under pressure, the aluminum flows to conform with surface irregularities, forming a plane of uniform bearing
