How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19260873 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory
The Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory is a large underground water Cherenkov detector in Japan designed to study neutrinos from the Sun, atmosphere, supernovae, and other cosmic sources, and to investigate neutrino oscillations and proton decay.
-
B.
Homestake solar neutrino experiment
The Homestake solar neutrino experiment was a pioneering underground radiochemical detector in South Dakota that first measured solar neutrinos and revealed the solar neutrino problem, leading to major advances in neutrino physics.
-
C.
neutrino oscillation
Neutrino oscillation is a quantum phenomenon in which neutrinos change from one flavor type to another as they travel, implying that they have mass and mix between flavor states.
-
D.
experiments at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
Experiments at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory were groundbreaking studies of solar neutrinos that provided key evidence for neutrino oscillations and the existence of neutrino mass.
