detector and named
After building a larger, more sensitive detector named Super-Kamiokande, which became operational in 1996, Koshiba found strong evidence for what scientists had already suspected — that neutrinos, of which three types are known, change from one type into another in flight ; this resolves the solar neutrino problem, since early experiments could only detect one type, not all three.
