Abstract The KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino detector is currently under construction at 3500 m depth offshore Capo Passero, Sicily, in the Mediterranean Sea. main science objectives are detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos and discovery their sources. Simulations were conducted for full detector, instrumenting a volume 1 km $$^3$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mmultiscripts> <mml:mrow/> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> </mml:mmultiscripts> </mml:math> , to estimate sensitivity...
Abstract The measurement of the flux muons produced in cosmic ray air showers is essential for study primary rays. Such measurements are important extensive shower detectors to assess energy spectrum and chemical composition flux, complementary information provided by fluorescence detectors. Detailed simulations carried out, using codes such as CORSIKA, estimate muon at sea level. These based on choice hadronic interaction models, which improvements have been implemented post-LHC era. In...
By constantly monitoring at least one complete hemisphere of the sky, neutrino telescopes are well designed to detect neutrinos emitted by transient astrophysical events. Real-time searches with ANTARES telescope have been performed look for candidates coincident gamma-ray bursts detected Swift and Fermi satellites, highenergy events registered IceCube, from blazars monitored HAWC, photon-neutrino coincidences AMON notices gravitational wave observed LIGO/Virgo. requiring temporal...
The KM3NeT Collaboration is building and operating two deep sea neutrino telescopes at the bottom of Mediterranean Sea. consist latices photomultiplier tubes housed in pressure-resistant glass spheres, called digital optical modules arranged vertical detection units. main scientific goals are determination mass ordering discovery observation high-energy sources Universe. Neutrinos detected via Cherenkov light, which induced by charged particles originated interactions. convert light into...
The KM3NeT neutrino telescope is currently being deployed at two different sites in the Mediterranean Sea. First searches for astrophysical neutrinos have been performed using data taken with partial detector configuration already operation. paper presents results of independent from compact binary mergers detected during third observing run LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave interferometers. first search looks a global increase counting rates that could be associated inverse beta decay...
