Acoustic Positioning for Deep Sea Neutrino Telescopes with a System of Piezo Sensors Integrated into Glass Spheres
A. Albert, S. Alves, M. André +137
Position calibration in the deep sea is typically done by means of acoustic multilateration using three or more acoustic emitters installed at known positions. Rather than using hy…
The Power Board of the KM3NeT Digital Optical Module: design, upgrade, and production
S. Aiello, A. Albert, S. Alves Garre +281
The KM3NeT Collaboration is building an underwater neutrino observatory at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea consisting of two neutrino telescopes, both composed of a three-dimen…
First observation of the cosmic ray shadow of the Moon and the Sun with KM3NeT/ORCA
KM3NeT Collaboration
This article reports the first observation of the Moon and the Sun shadows in the sky distribution of cosmic-ray induced muons measured by the KM3NeT/ORCA detector. The analysed da…
Nanobeacon: A time calibration device for the KM3NeT neutrino telescope
S. Aiello, A. Albert, M. Alshamsi +238
The KM3NeT Collaboration is currently constructing a multi-site high-energy neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea consisting of matrices of pressure-resistant glass spheres,…
Long-term monitoring of the ANTARES optical module efficiencies using decays in sea water
ANTARES collaboration, A. Albert, M. André +124
Cherenkov light induced by radioactive decay products is one of the major sources of background light for deep-sea neutrino telescopes such as ANTARES. These decays are at the same…
The prototype detection unit of the KM3NeT detector
KM3NeT Collaboration, S. Adrián-Martínez, M. Ageron +246
A prototype detection unit of the KM3NeT deep-sea neutrino telescope has been installed at 3500m depth 80km offshore the Italian coast. KM3NeT in its final configuration will conta…
Deep sea tests of a prototype of the KM3NeT digital optical module
S. Adrián-Martínez, M. Ageron, F. Aharonian +247
The first prototype of a photo-detection unit of the future KM3NeT neutrino telescope has been deployed in the deep waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This digital optical module has…
Acoustic Transmitters for Underwater Neutrino Telescopes
Miguel Ardid, Juan A. Martínez-Mora, Manuel Bou-Cabo +3
In this paper acoustic transmitters that were developed for use in underwater neutrino telescopes are presented. Firstly, an acoustic transceiver has been developed as part of the…
A method for detection of muon induced electromagnetic showers with the ANTARES detector
J. A. Aguilar, I. Al. Samarai, A. Albert +148
The primary aim of ANTARES is neutrino astronomy with upward going muons created in charged current muon neutrino interactions in the detector and its surroundings. Downward going…
A Fast Algorithm for Muon Track Reconstruction and its Application to the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope
ANTARES collaboration, J. A. Aguilar, I. Al Samarai +140
An algorithm is presented, that provides a fast and robust reconstruction of neutrino induced upward-going muons and a discrimination of these events from downward-going atmospheri…
R&D studies for the development of a compact transmitter able to mimic the acoustic signature of a UHE neutrino interaction
M. Ardid, S. Adrián, M. Bou-Cabo +5
Calibration of acoustic neutrino telescopes with neutrino-like signals is an essential aspect to evaluate the feasibility of the technique and to know the efficiency of the detecto…
Time Calibration of the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope
The ANTARES Collaboration, J. A. Aguilar, I. Al Samarai +135
The ANTARES deep-sea neutrino telescope comprises a three-dimensional array of photomultipliers to detect the Cherenkov light induced by upgoing relativistic charged particles orig…
