description

Currently, SK has the capability of tag neutrons through hydrogen-neutron captures. This technique is around four times less efficient than in the proposed SuperK, Gd, i.e. \(\sim \)20%. However, it is enough for seen the relevance of the improvements, brought by neutron tagging, in the atmospheric oscillation analysis.
