23 November 2024 – In a new paper with the title ‘gSeaGen code by KM3NeT: an efficient tool to propagate muons simulated with CORSIKA’ we describe an open source solution for efficient simulation of cosmic-ray induced muons in neutrino telescopes.
22 November 2024 – In a paper with the title ‘Astronomy potential of KM3NeT/ARCA’ we present improvements that indeed enhance the astronomy potential of the ARCA detector.
20 November 2024 – In a new paper with the title ‘First searches for Dark Matter with the KM3NeT Neutrino Telescopes’ we present limits for neutrino production by Dark Matter annihilation in the Sun and the Galactic Centre. For the analysis we used the data of early configurations of the ARCA and ORCA detectors of KM3NeT.
13 November 2024 – Last week , the KM3NeT Collaboration has met online for its fall meeting.
30 October 2024 – Search for quantum decoherence in neutrino oscillations with six detection units of KM3NeT/ORCA
In a new paper we search for quantum decoherence in neutrino oscillations by looking for deviations of the standard neutrino oscillation pattern. We report upper limits on the decoherence parameters using data from ORCA6.
29 October 2024 – Measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters with the first six detection units of KM3NeT/ORCA
In a new paper we show the potential of the ORCA detector: the measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters – with only 5% of ORCA’s final volume and during limited observation time – align with those from other experiments and are already becoming competitive.
28 October 2024 – The latest sea campaigns at both the KM3NeT’s ARCA and ORCA sites have led to major progress in expanding detector installations and improving calibration systems.
The number of detection units in operation in the deep sea has been increased to 57: 33 in ARCA and 24 in ORCA.
13 August 2024 – Gamma-ray bursts are promising candidate sources of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. The recent GRB 221009A event, identified as the brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected, provides a unique opportunity to investigate hadronic emissions involving neutrinos.
KM3NeT participated in the worldwide follow-up effort triggered by the GRB 221009A event, searching for neutrino events.

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.
