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…
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,…
Deep-sea deployment of the KM3NeT neutrino telescope detection units by self-unrolling
The KM3NeT Collaboration, S. Aiello, A. Albert +252
KM3NeT is a research infrastructure being installed in the deep Mediterranean Sea. It will house a neutrino telescope comprising hundreds of networked moorings - detection units or…
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…
Letter of Intent for KM3NeT 2.0
