A Review of the Use of Super Kamiokande to Determine Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations
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 …

Enigmas (Puzzles) in Teaching and Learning of Physics
Abstract: Teaching and learning of physics has been considered a challenge by both the teachers and students in India. The text books prescribed normally do not refer to these challenges which are mostly at conceptual level. An attempt has been made to recall some of the puzzles which are encountered by most of the students in learning physics. The historical origin of puzzles in particle physics has been brought into focus …

High-Energy Astrophysics: Exploring the Extreme Universe Through Radiation, Relativistic Phenomena, and Cosmic Cataclysms
Abstract: High-energy astrophysics is a fast-developing area of astrophysical research dedicated to exploring the universe’s most powerful and extreme events. It involves investigating dense and energetic cosmic objects and phenomena, including black holes, neutron stars, supernova remnants, gamma-ray bursts, and active galactic nuclei. These sources emit radiation predominantly in the X-ray and gamma-ray regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and are often associated with high-energy particles, including cosmic rays and neutrinos. Investigating …

Gravitational Wave Astronomy (2015–2026): From Historic Discoveries to Quantum Detection Frontiers
Abstract: Since the landmark detection of GW150914 by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in 2015, gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has transitioned from a theoretical frontier to a robust observational science. This breakthrough confirmed a major prediction of General Relativity and inaugurated an entirely new method for observing the universe. Over the past decade, continuous upgrades to ground-based interferometers such as LIGO, Virgo Collaboration, and KAGRA have dramatically improved detector sensitivity, enabling the …
