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…
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…
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…
ANTARES: the first undersea neutrino telescope
ANTARES Collaboration
The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope was completed in May 2008 and is the first operational Neutrino Telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The main purpose of the detector is to perform ne…
The ANTARES Telescope Neutrino Alert System
M. Ageron, J. A. Aguilar, I. Al Samarai +149
The ANTARES telescope has the capability to detect neutrinos produced in astrophysical transient sources. Potential sources include gamma-ray bursts, core collapse supernovae, and…
