Under Construction

KM3NeT is a Megaton-scale neutrino telescope currently under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. When completed, it will consist of two separate detectors: ARCA (Astroparticle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss), optimised for high-energy neutrino astronomy, and ORCA (Oscillation Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) for neutrino oscillation studies of atmospheric neutrinos. The main goal of ORCA is the determination of the neutrino mass ordering (NMO). Nevertheless it is possible to exploit ORCA’s configuration to make other important measurements, such as sterile neutrinos, non standard interactions, tau-neutrino appearance, neutrinos from Supernovae, Dark Matter and Earth Tomography studies. Part of these analyses are summarized here.

Significant Flux

The detection of Čerenkov light emitted by cosmic-ray air showers was used to search for cosmic gamma rays from the Crab Nebula. By use of the 10-m optical reflector at Mt. Hopkins, Arizona, the Crab Nebula was observed during the winter of 1969–1970 for approximately 112 hours, which was a significant increase in exposure time over previous experiments. Above a gamma-ray energy of 2.2 × 1011 eV, no significant flux was detected, resulting in an upper limit to the flux of 8.1 × 10-11 photon/cm2 sec. In the synchrotron-Compton-scattering model of gamma-ray production in the Crab Nebula, this limit on the flux indicates the average magnetic field in the nebula must be greater than 3 × 10-4 G.

Near Future

It is hoped that in the near future, neutrino astronomy, born with the identification of thermonuclear fusion in the sun and the particle processes controlling the fate of a nearby supernova, will reach throughout and beyond our galaxy and make measurements relevant to cosmology, astrophysics, cosmic-ray physics and particle physics. The construction of a high-energy neutrino telescope requires a huge volume of very transparent, deeply buried material, such as ocean water or ice, which acts as the medium for detecting the particles. The AMANDA1 muon and neutrino telescope, now operating four strings of photomultiplier tubes buried in deep ice at the South Pole, is scheduled to be expanded to a ten-string array. The data collected over the first two years cover the three basic modes in which such instruments are operated: (i) the burst mode which monitors the sky for supernovae, (ii) the detection of electromagnetic showers initiated by PeV-energy cosmic electron neutrinos, and (iii) muon trajectory reconstruction for neutrino and gamma-ray astronomy. We speculate on the possible architectures of kilometer-scale instruments, using early data as a guideline.
