چکیده
The NEMO Collaboration is conducting an R&D activity towards the construction of a Mediter-ranean km 3 neutrino telescope. In this work, we present the results of Monte Carlo simulation studies on the capability of the proposed NEMO telescope to detect and identify point-like sources of high energy muon neutri-nos.

متن کاملThe Relevance of Mediterranean Neutrino Telescope Sites on Earth-skimming tau neutrino detection
Neutrinos are one of the main components of the cosmic radiation in the ultra-high energy (UHE) regime. Although their fluxes are uncertain and depend on the production mechanism, their detection can provide information on the sources and origin of the UHE cosmic rays. For example, UHE neutrinos can be produced via πphotoproduction by strongly accelerated hadrons in presence of a background ele...
متن کاملToward a km Neutrino Telescope
Since the end of the 2005-2006 austral summer, the IceCube detector consists of an array of 9 strings, deployed between 1450 m and 2450 m of depth and containing 540 digital optical sensors and 16 IceTop surface stations with 64 sensors. With the integrated AMANDA-II experiment this is the world’s largest neutrino telescope in operation. The construction status of IceCube is presented along wit...

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 ...
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...
