New implosion tests of the PMTs covers of the Hyper-Kamiokande telescope in collaboration with SOCIB

Last week, the eighth implosion test campaign was successfully completed to validate the protective covers of the sensors for the future HK neutrino telescope.

Over three weeks, a team of 15 researchers from LSC, DIPC, UdG, and Japanese institutions conducted the tests at the SOCIB facilities in Palma.

A total of six tests were carried out, confirming that the cover prototype can contain an implosion in case of failure. One step closer to ensuring the safety of the 22,000 eyes of HK.
