Almost 20 years ago here in Venice and in the same International Workshop on Neutrino
Telescopes I delivered a talk entitled “Imaging Water Cherenkov Detector; Why and How” 1) .
In its introduction I said “the use of this technique for exploiting this new-born science of nastrophysics constitutes a very promising future”.
Furthermore, in the section of “What is next and how?” I listed as the physics problems to be
considered;
solar 8B n`s with better statistics and resolution,
future supernova n`s,
dark matter search with the sun as their reservoir,
n-oscillation, and
high energy n point sources.
To deal with these problems I proposed installing Super KAMIOKANDE of 32,000tons
fiducial water mass; Fig.9 of ref.1). KAMIOKANDE played the role of feasibility
experiment beautifully and was closed in April of 1996.
Super KAMIOKANDE was
started building April 1, 1996. In November of 2001there was an unfortunate accident in
which more than 5, 000PMTs were destroyed but it was completely recovered in July,2006.
See the next slide.
The 3rd generation experiment at KAMIOKA called KamLAND
was also installed and has been working on anti-ne, but this will be described by its creator,
Prof. A. Suzuki,later in the session.

solar 8B n`s with better statistics and resolution
•
KAMIOLKANDE clearly demonstrated the feasibility of the astrophysical observation of Solar
neutrinos; i.e., with the signal time, the signal direction and the signal energy spectrum.
•
Super KAMIOKANDE is making a continuous observation of Solar neutrinos with much better
resolution and statistics.
•
The signal timing is better than a few nanosecond.
•
The directional observation is shown in the next slide. The directional resolution is not as good as one
hopes for.
The next slide shows the picture of the sun as seen by neutrinos.
•
The following slide shows the observed n-energy spectrum as compared with the theoretically
expected.
•
The next slide shows the theoretical neutrino energy spectrum and the summary of the rate
measurements.

future supernova n`s,
• The new Type-II supernova did not happen in our Milky Way Galaxy and I
can show you just a hopeful expectation.

dark matter search with the sun as their reservoir,

n-oscillation,
• The neutrino oscillation discovered by KAMIOKANDE is firmly
established by Super KAMIKANDE.
• See the next 3 slides.
• The first shows the flight path dependence of atmospheric nm and ne.
• The second is showing the determination of nmnt oscillation parameters;
Dm22 3 and q2 3 . The data of long base line oscillation experiments, K2K
and MINOS, were also included.
• The third is the determination of Dm212 and q1 2 using the data of solar
neutrino, ne, and those of anti- ne obtained by KamLAND experiment.

20 more years to come
• There will be another long baseline n-oscillation experiment using a very
intense neutrino beam from Tokai J-PARK proton accelerator. This
experiment T2K will start data-taking next year, hopefully to pin down the
small and still undetermined q1,3 .
• The remaining oscillation parameter is CP violation parameter. We still do
not know how to approach this problem.
• Intense efforts should be given to double beta decay experiments, since this
seems to be the only channel we can look into the Majorana nature of
neutrino.
• The last and the most difficult problem still remaining to be solved is the
observation of Cosmic n Background which would tell us the state of our
Universe a few second after the Big-Bang. At present we do not know
the best way to approach this problem.
A serious theoretical analysis
of the neutrino reflection, and refraction, is being carried out by J. Arafune
and G. Takeda, the result of which I hope we can see in near future.
• Last year we worked on the latest resume of neutrino physics and it will be
published this summer 2) .
• For the sake of helping the younger participants of this Workshop the full
list of publications by the three experiments at Kamioka is attached at the
end.
Aknowledgement
• The help rendered by Profs. T. Kajita and M. Nakahata of ICRR, University
of Tokyo, in preparing this talk is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your patience.
