Description
KM3NeT is a research infrastructure housing the next generation of Cherenkov neutrino telescopes. It consists of two detectors with similar technology currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea: ARCA (off-shore Sicily, Italy) and ORCA (off-shore Toulon, France) dedicated to Astroparticle and Oscillation Research with Cosmics in the Abyss, respectively. ARCA will instrument 1 Gton of seawater, with the primary goal of detecting high energy cosmic neutrinos from distant astrophysical sources with energies between tens of GeV and PeV., while ORCA has a smaller volume with a few megatonnes of seawater. ORCA will detect atmospheric neutrinos in the 1 - 100 GeV energy range, studying neutrino properties. In this poster I present the KM3NeT project, current status and expected performances on measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters, the mass ordering, the diffuse neutrino flux and the search for supernovae.
