This is the home page of the Duke University high energy neutrino group. On these pages you can find information about and for our group, along with general information about high energy and neutrino physics. We work in the Super-K, T2K, LBNE, SNEWS and HALO collaborations. Maybe you should join us!

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 … Continue reading
The T2K experiment is a “long-baseline” neutrino experiment where neutrinos are produced in an accelerator north of Tokyo and then shot across Japan to the Super-Kamiokande detector underneath the Japanese Alps. Super-Kamiokande is a giant underground water Cherenkov experiment, designed … Continue reading
Super-K is located near Toyama city in Japan. In fact, Toyama is a sister city of Durham . Home to Toyama bay, firefly squid and excellent Buri, you can be there in a short 20 hours from Durham! Members of … Continue reading
The Helium and Lead Observatory (HALO) is a dedicated supernova neutrino detector that is presently under construction underground at SNOLAB in the Creighton Mine in Sudbury Ontario Canada. It uses 76 tonnes of annular lead blocks instrumented with 128 tubular Helium-3 neutron … Continue reading
World Wide, several detectors currently running or nearing completion are sensitive to a core collapse supernova neutrino signal in the Milky Way. The neutrino signal emerges promptly from a supernova’s core, whereas it may take hours for the first photons … Continue reading
