Constructed in an unused mine in Japan, an ambitious large-scale experiment designed to detect and study neutrinos is known as Super-Kamiokande or "Super-K". 500 days worth of data was needed to produce a "neutrino image" of the Sun, using Super-K to detect the neutrinos from nuclear fusion in the solar interior.

Collisions with cosmic rays could make lightweight dark matter particles pack enough punch to show up in detectors on Earth. The lack of such a signal from #SuperKamiokande puts strong limits on lightweight dark matter’s interaction cross section. https://physics.aps.org/articles/v16/s11
