KM3NeT at ICRC 2025

28 July 2025 – On behalf of the collaborations, ANTARES and KM3NeT scientists presented their latest results at the International Cosmic Ray Conference. This year, the biennial conference took place at the Geneva International conference center. There, more than thousand scientists from all over the world presented their work in talks and posters. Among them were almost 50 contributions by ANTARES and KM3NeT scientists, who showcased the multifaceted capabilities of the telescopes with new results in neutrino physics, astronomy, dark matter research and cosmic-ray physics.

Damien Dornic (CNRS, France) gave an overview of KM3NeT’s status and findings. The presentation provided ample grounds to discuss KM3NeT’s recent observation of KM3-230213A – the most energetic neutrino observed to date – and came right in time for announcing the success of the latest sea campaign for ARCA. Other presentations featured recent results of scientific studies and technical work which further improves data taking and calibration of the KM3NeT detectors.

KM3NeT took advantage of the conference to make an appearance at the STELLAR event, an afternoon of exhibitions, animations and lectures organised by CERN on July 19th on the occasion of the 56th anniversary of  the first human landing on the moon. There, Mathieu Lamoureux, Jonathan Mauro and Gwenhaël de Wasseige from UC Louvain (Belgium) presented a large-scale (albeit not life-size) model of a KM3NeT detector. They also introduced neutrino astrophysics to the public with a set of animations and video games designed by their group.

The conference concluded a momentous, busy, and exciting year for KM3NeT. During the next month, many of us will now interact with the sea in more recreational ways. But the detectors will continue to work and we hope to see you again in a few months with new results!
