Description

Super-Kamiokande is a 50-kton Cherenkov water detector currently
operating in Japan, primarily aimed at the study and detection of
neutrinos. Many efforts are being made to detect neutrinos from
astrophysical origin, especially in the context of multi-messenger
astronomy. In this contribution, the development of an online follow-up
system for gravitational waves detected during the current
LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA O4 Run will be described. This system allows to do a
realtime search of neutrino signals in temporal coincidence with
gravitational waves events in an energy range that goes from few MeVs to
hundreds of GeV.
