His work with the neutrino detectors Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande helped to detect what?

  • Cosmic rays

  • Black holes

  • Solar neutrinos

  • Gravitational waves

Answer

The existence of solar neutrinos was first confirmed through their detection in the Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande experiments, large underground detectors of subatomic particles in Japan. These facilities played a pivotal role in the study of solar neutrinos and allowed scientists to probe fundamental questions related to the Sun's nuclear fusion processes and neutrino properties, including the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations.
