Abstract
n this paper we present the results of Monte Carlo simulation studies on the capability of the proposed NEMO km3 telescope to detect high energy neutrinos. We calculated the detector sensitivity to muon neutrinos coming from a generic point-like source. We also simulated the lack of atmospheric muons in correspondence to the Moon disk in order to determine the detector angular resolution and to check the absolute pointing capability.
