3 February 2025 – In a new paper with the title ‘Probing invisible neutrino decay with the first six detection units of KM3NeT/ORCA’ we presents the results of a search for signs of invisible neutrino decay.
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.
29 November 2024 – In a new paper with the title ‘Search for non-standard neutrino interactions with the first six detection units of KM3NeT/ORCA‘ we search for Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) by investigating distortions of the standard oscillation pattern of neutrinos of all flavours.
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.
