Abstract
The status of the construction of the KM3NeT detector components and the experience gained from the detector units deployed underpin the dissemination of innovative technological solutions to industry, Institutions and other potentially interested parties. KM3NeT is now entering a phase during which the design of the detector elements is being finalized and testing procedures for controlling the quality of the different components are settled. In addition, a few KM3NeT detection units have been deployed successfully and many more are coming, data have been recorded and are currently being analysed. The maturity and scalability of the technological solutions developed or modified by KM3NeT has been demonstrated and therefore justifies their exposure to relevant technology developers or users.
Highlights
KM3NeT is a large research infrastructure currently under construction
KM3NeT/ORCA (Oscillation Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) at a depth of 2450 m, about 40 km offshore from Toulon, will use atmospheric neutrino oscillations at low energies to measure neutrino fundamental properties focusing on the neutrino mass ordering
The broad scientific program of KM3NeT focuses on fundamental research, knowledge and technology transfer are highly valued as a way to strengthen the excellence of the collaborating institutes, improve collaboration with the leaders of technological advancements, train the future scientists and most importantly, as return to society
Summary
KM3NeT is a large research infrastructure currently under construction. When completed, it will consist of a network of deep-sea detectors with user ports for Earth and Sea sciences, deployed at the Mediterranean sea [1]. KM3NeT/ARCA (Astroparticle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss), aims at the discovery and subsequent observation of high-energy neutrino sources in the Universe and is currently under construction at a depth of 3500 m, about 80 km off-shore Portopalo di Capo Passero in Sicily. KM3NeT/ORCA (Oscillation Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) at a depth of 2450 m, about 40 km offshore from Toulon, will use atmospheric neutrino oscillations at low energies to measure neutrino fundamental properties focusing on the neutrino mass ordering. In this article the knowledge and technology transfer activities in KM3NeT are presented
