Description
Building on the pioneering success of ANTARES, the next-generation deep-sea neutrino telescope KM3NeT will be constructed in the Mediterranean Sea. It will comprise two installations, one for neutrino astronomy with high-energy cosmic neutronos and one concentrating on neutrino physics using oscillations of the lower-energy neutrinos created in cosmic-ray interactions in the atmosphere. The presentation will discuss the technical design of KM3NeT; show initial preliminary results of the first detector unit deployed in December 2015; highlight selected results from the sensitivity studies for a cubic-kilometre installation; and summarise the next steps and future plans.
