Sneak peek into the KM3NeT labs: Nikhef
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.
