Paper alert
20 November 2023 – Recently, KM3NeT published on the arXiv pre-prints of two new papers:
KM3NeT - Research
Highlights during day-to-day KM3NeT research activities such as pitches for new papers, talks and posters during international conferences and (internal) workshops, comments on events in astroparticle physics and particle physics etc.
KM3NeT in the ICRC2023 proceedings
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.
KM3NeT presented at conferences worldwide
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
Neutrino emission from our Galaxy! New observations by the IceCube Collaboration
29 June 2023 – The KM3NeT Collaboration congratulates the IceCube Collaboration after today’s announcement of an evidence in IceCube of high-energy neutrinos originating from our own Galaxy.
New publication: The KM3NeT broadcast optical system
1 February 2023 – Via a long-distance electro-optical network the more than 6000 optical modules of KM3NeT in the deep sea are provided with a point-to-point connection to the control station on shore. The optical layer is presented in full details:
S. Aiello et al. 2023 JINST 18 T02001 DOI 10.1088/1748-0221/18/02/T02001
New publication: The KM3NeT multi-PMT optical module
27 July 2022 – Long-term operation in the deep sea puts challenging requirements on detectors. A review of the design and construction of the KM3NeT optical module has been published:
S. Aiello et al. 2022 JINST 17 P07038 DOI 10.1088/1748-0221/17/07/P07038
KM3NeT at ICHEP 2022
For the first time, the International Conference on High Energy Physics was organized in Italy. This major conference in our field was the opportunity for KM3NeT and ANTARES members to present the latest updates from our experiments.
Some of our collaborators were also involved in the organization of the conference being held in Bologna.
The various talks and posters are available on the website of the conference:
KM3NeT@neutrino2022
Fifty years ago, in 1972, the first neutrino conference was held in Hungary, because the organisers were not satisfied with the subdued position of neutrino interactions at the international conferences at that time. Nowadays, the neutrino conference is one of the major conferences in neutrino (astro)particle physics. Neutrino2022 took place in virtual Seoul, 30 May-4 June, 2022 and of course KM3NeT was there to show the results of data taking with the first detection units of ARCA and ORCA.
KM3NeT at ICRC2021
29 July 2021 – The International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC) has come to an end after two intense weeks.
The biannual conference organised under auspices of IUPAP, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. This year, the 37th edition of the conference was organised as an online version by DESY Zeuthen in Germany. The KM3NeT Collaboration participated in the conference with many contributions accepted by the International Science Committee of the conference.
New publication: Neutrino Mass Ordering and Oscillation Parameters
05 May 2021 – The potential of KM3NeT to measure key properties of neutrinos – in March 2021, the KM3NeT Collaboration released a publication showing that KM3NeT with its ORCA detector will be in an excellent position to study the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations!
