Ninth implosion test campaign for Hyper-Kamiokande PMTs protective covers in collaboration with SOCIB

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

Over the course of a week, a team of seven members from the LSC and UdG carried out the tests at the SOCIB facilities in Palma de Mallorca. A total of three tests were performed, confirming that the initial production of protective covers are capable of containing an implosion in the event of a sensor failure.
One step closer to making Hyper-Kamiokande even safer.
