Abstract

AbstractSuper Kamiokande is a large water Cherenkov detectors situated at kamioka town in Japan. Itwas commissioned in 1996 and data taken began since then. The sole aim of this detector is tostudy atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, sterile neutrinos search for proton decays andother astrophysical sources. Lots of significant progress has been made during recent years inunderstanding of neutrino oscillation. This paper reports some findings of atmosphericneutrino oscillation using data taken from super kamiokande and other detectors of similarpurpose. It also highlights some of the future projects based on this research area.Keywords: Kamiokande, neutrino, atmospheric, oscillationCite this ArticleBala A, A Review of the Use of Super Kamiokande to Determine Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations, Research & Reviews: Journal of Physics (RRJoPHY) 2015; 4(2): 19–24p.
