4 February 2025 – Last week, KM3NeT has met, both in person and online, for its winter Collaboration Meeting , in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, hosted by UCLouvain.
17 January 2025 – Today we start a series of items highlighting the work of our technical staff in the labs of KM3NeT. Numerous technicians and engineers are working on the construction of the ARCA and ORCA detectors of the KM3NeT neutrino telescope. Together, but in distributed labs, they design and build the many detector components, assemble them into thousands of optical modules and integrate them into hundreds of deployment-ready detection units. It requires high standards of quality control and logistics between the labs.
13 December 2024 – During the last Collaboration meeting, the KM3NeT Collaboration has elected a new Management Team, who will serve for the two coming years. In addition to the new Institute Board Chair, prof Antoine Kouchner from UPCité, France elected last June, the following people will be leading the Collaboration as:
10 December 2024 – The KM3NeT Bootcamp 2024, held at the Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics – ECAP, took place last week, bringing together 56 enthusiastic participants from around the world in a hybrid format. Over four engaging days, the attendees, guided by 18 expert teachers, dived into the fundamentals of KM3NeT, gaining insights into its core principles and tools.
13 November 2024 – Last week , the KM3NeT Collaboration has met online for its fall meeting.
03 July 2024 – In June, KM3NeT scientist participated to the XXXI International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics (Neutrino 2024), held in Milan, Italy, and organized by the University of Milano – Bicocca, the University of Milan and the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN).
23 June 2024 – KM3NeT has met, in Texel (The Netherlands) and online, for its spring Collaboration meeting, hosted by NIOZ, the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research.
The meeting brought together collaborators in order to review the status of the ongoing analyses, Monte Carlo simulations and calibration efforts, for both the ARCA and ORCA detectors, and prepare exciting contributions to the Neutrino 2024 Conference.
5 March 2024 – The KM3NeT Collaboration met again, in Bologna and online, in February.
With so many data analyses ongoing, the meeting gave the opportunity to discuss a harvest of new results. As plans are being prepared for next massive sea campaigns to be performed for ARCA and ORCA this year, there was a lot to discuss also on the construction side.
During the meeting the recipients of the Giorgos Androulakis Prize, Agustín Sánchez Losa and Riccardo Bruno, were announced.
5 March 2024 – During the recent KM3NeT collaboration meeting, in Bologna last month, the awardees of the second edition of the Giorgos Androulakis Prize were announced.
With the prize, KM3NeT recognises “exceptional contribution to the KM3NeT project that has a particularly high impact on the success or progress of KM3NeT”.
15 September 2023 – This summer, KM3NeT members participated in conferences all over the world to present the latest results and developments of our Collaboration. Read more
