Results from NEMO and Km3Net
نویسنده
چکیده
The status of the NEMO project is described: the activity on long term characterization of water optical and oceanographic parameters of the Capo Passero (Sicily, Italy), candidate for the installation of the Mediterranean km neutrino telescope; the feasibility study on physics performances and underwater technology for the km; the activity on NEMO Phase 1, a technological demonstrator that is going to be deployed at 2000 m depth 20 km

Time calibration system for the KM3NeT deep sea neutrino telescope
In this contribution we review the time calibration system proposed for the future underwater KM3NeT neutrino telescope. Building on the experience gained with the pilot projects, ANTARES, NEMO and NESTOR, and the results in-situ from the ANTARES Optical Beacons, we propose a decoupled optical system, based on LEDs and lasers, to perform an intra-line and inter-line relative time calibration. T...

متن کاملThe KM3NeT Project for a Very Large Submarine Neutrino Telescope
The groups presently pursuing neutrino telescope projects in the Mediterranean Sea, ANTARES, NEMO, and NESTOR, have formed the new KM3NeT consortium to study the construction of a cubic kilometre-scale neutrino telescope for the Northern hemisphere. This challenging project will require the installation of thousands of photon detectors with their related electronics and calibration systems seve...
متن کاملIceCube and KM3NeT: Lessons and Relations
This talk presents conclusions for KM3NeT which may be drawn from latest IceCube results and from optimization studies of the IceCube configuration. It discusses possible coordinated efforts between IceCube and KM3NeT (or, for the time being, IceCube and ANTARES). Finally, it lists ideas for formal relations between neutrino telescopes on the cubic kilometer scale. © 2001 Elsevier Science. All ...
متن کاملKM3NeT: A Next Generation Neutrino Telescope in the Mediterranean Sea
To complement the IceCube neutrino telescope currently under construction at the South Pole, the three Mediterranean neutrino telescope projects ANTARES, NEMO and NESTOR have joined forces to develop, construct and operate a km-scale neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. Since February 2006, the technical specifications and performance of such a detector are studied in the framework of a...
