Description

The chapter reports on the development of an 8000 ton detector designed to study nucleon stability. Reviews design criteria and additional physics objectives, within the capabilities of the current detector. The IMB detector is the largest totally sensitive nuclear detector ever built. Points out that some recent progress has been made in adding neutrino burst detection capabilities to the detector. Wave form digitizers, highly segmented triggers and many layers of event buffers are planned
