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.
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).
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.
20 November 2023 – Recently, KM3NeT published on the arXiv pre-prints of two new papers:
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
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.
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
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
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:
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.
