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.
15 June 2024 – A new marine operation took place in the last week for enlarging the ORCA deep-sea neutrino telescope.
Taking advantage of a spot of good weather of 48 hours, four new detection units were added to the apparatus.
Recently, three KM3NeT papers were accepted by peer-reviewed scientific journals and came on line.
Note, that KM3NeT has an open science policy which means that all papers can be read open access, i.e. without a paywall.
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”.
20 November 2023 – Recently, KM3NeT published on the arXiv pre-prints of two new papers:
10 October 2023 – An important two-week marine operation has been successfully carried out at the KM3NeT ARCA site, offshore Capo Passero, Sicily in September.
The campaign was performed with the Optimus Prime, equipped with a FUGRO underwater vehicle (ROV). The ship set sail from Malta on Monday, 11 September and came back to the port at the end of the operation on Thursday, 23 September.
From the 15th of September to the 8th of October, KM3NeT is represented at the exhibition “Des abysses au cosmos” (From the abyss to the cosmos), at the Fort Napoléon cultural centre in La Seyne-sur-Mer, France, operating quarters of the ANTARES and KM3NeT experiments.
The ICRC is the International Cosmic Ray Conference. It is one of the major conferences in astroparticle physics and covers many subfields. In 2023, the 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC) took place in Nagoya, Japan.
KM3NeT researchers actively participated to present the work of the Collaboration and many contributions to the proceedings of the conference were published. The full proceedings of ICRC2023 can be found at here. Below you find the individual KM3NeT contributions, categorised in the various scientific and technological fields.
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
