A next-generation neutrino remark facility, the Hyper-Kamiokande, was unveiled to the media on June twenty eighth in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture.

The new facility is being constructed to exchange the present Super-Kamiokande and can dramatically broaden analysis capabilities. Excavation of the huge underground cavity wanted to put in the brand new detector is almost full and has now been proven to the press.
The chamber measures 94 meters in peak and 69 meters in diameter, enabling observations at roughly eight instances the dimensions of the present system.
