Super-K is located 1,000 m underground in the Mozumi Mine (Kamioka Mining and Smelting Co.) in Hida city (formerly Kamioka town), Gifu, Japan. It consists of 50,000 tons of pure water surrounded by about 11,200 photomultiplier tubes. The cylindrical structure is 41.4 m tall and 39.3 m across. A neutrino interaction with the electrons or nuclei of water can produce a particle that moves faster than the speed of light in water (although of course slower than the speed of light in vacuum). This creates a cone of light known as Cherenkov radiation, which is the optical equivalent to a sonic boom. The distinct pattern of this flash provides information on the direction and flavor of the incoming neutrino. The difference in time between the top of the cone reaching the detector wall and the bottom can be used to calculate the direction that the particle came from; the bigger the difference, the greater the angle from the horizontal of the particle’s path. From the sharpness of the edge of the cone the type of particle can be inferred. The multiple scattering of electrons is large, so electromagnetic showers produce fuzzy cones. Highly relativistic muons, in contrast, travel almost straight through the detector and produce rings with sharp edges. Read the rest of this entry »

Sydney-based digital artist Brian Walker creates scenes that meld illustration and fashion with an element of surprise. Stemming from a passion for illustration to depict his ideas and concepts of surrealist landscapes and characters, Walker first began using photography as a tool to represent ideas of the impossible within the believable context of photography. Walker’s works feature compositions such as battery packed human figurines, fur clad models destined for the meat market and a post modern take on the nursery rhyme Jack and Jill.
