1 Multi - Megaton Water Cherenkov Detector for a Proton Decay
The discovery of the neutrino oscillations in 1998 revisited the interest of proton decay search [2]. The existence of the tiny neutrino mass indicates the existence of the large energy scale behind and suggests the connection between the small neutrino mass and proton decay. There are strong indications of the unification scale of O(10 16)GeV: the running coupling constants with super-symmetri...

متن کاملSolar and Atmospheric Neutrinos in Super-Kamiokande
The Super-Kamiokande (SK) water Cherenkov detector has been operating for nearly 12 years collecting data for the study of both solar and atmospheric neutrinos as well as searching for neutrinos from supernovæ(and relic supernovæ) and for nucleon decay. The experiment has undergone three operating phases during the full running period: SK-I (40% photocathode coverage), SK-II (20% coverage), and...
متن کاملar X iv : 0 90 7 . 15 94 v 1 [ as tr o - ph . H E ] 9 J ul 2 00 9 Search for Astrophysical Neutrino Point Sources at Super - Kamiokande
It has been hypothesized that large fluxes of neutrinos may be created in astrophysical “cosmic accelerators.” The primary background for a search for astrophysical neutrinos comes from atmospheric neutrinos, which do not exhibit the pointlike directional clustering that characterizes a distant astrophysical signal. We perform a search for neutrino point sources using the upward-going muon data...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Nucleon Decay Searches with Super-Kamiokande
In the Standard Model it is assumed that the proton is completely stable because there are no lighter products to which the proton could decay without violating baryon number conservation. However, the requirement for an interaction to conserve baryon number is not backed up by any symmetry in the Standard Model. If baryon number conservation is an incorrect assumption, then there are avenues f...
متن کاملDirect and Indirect Search for Dark Matter
Direct and indirect searches for dark matter (DM) particles are discussed. The search for a diffuse signal from DM annihilation in the Milky Way is presented using the atmospheric neutrino data from Super-Kamiokande-I, -II, -III. The analysis focuses on the model independent scenario with DM particles annihilating directly into pairs of neutrinos and antineutrinos. No signal contribution is all...
