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.

Successful Observation

The IceCube neutrino observatory at the South Pole uses 1 km3 of instrumented ice to detect both astrophysical and atmospheric neutrinos. Expanding the capabilities of the original design, the DeepCore sub-array is a low-energy extension to IceCube which will collect [Formula: see text] atmospheric neutrinos a year. The high statistics sample will allow DeepCore to make neutrino oscillation measurements at higher energies and longer baselines than current experiments. The first successful observation of neutrino induced cascades in a neutrino telescope has recently been observed in DeepCore, which upon further cultivation should help refine atmospheric neutrino flux models. Besides the fundamental neutrino physics, the low-energy reach of DeepCore, down to as low as 10 GeV, and multi-megaton effective volume will enhance indirect searches for WIMP-like dark matter. A new proposal seeking to lower the energy reach down to [Formula: see text] GeV known as the Phased IceCube Next Generation Upgrade (or PINGU) will also be described.

This talk is mainly based on our previous work.1 We will investigate the possibility of detecting light long-lived particle (LLP) produced by high energy cosmic ray colliding with atmosphere. The LLP may penetrate the atmosphere and decay into a pair of muons near/in the neutrino telescope. Such muons can be treated as the detectable signal for neutrino telescope. The particle with such behavior is very similar with that of the first observed strange particle in cosmic ray events, which was coined historically as "V-particle" in some literature. This study is motivated by recent cosmic electron/positron observations which suggest the existence of O(TeV) dark matter and new light O(GeV) particle. It indicates that dark sector may be complicated, and there may exist more than one light particle, for example the dark gauge boson A′ and associated dark Higgs boson h′. In this work, we discuss the scenario with A′ heavier than h′ and h′ is treated as LLP. Based on our numerical estimation, we find that the large volume neutrino telescope IceCube has the capacity to observe several tens of di-muon events per year for favorable parameters if the decay length of LLP can be comparable with the depth of atmosphere. The challenge here is how to suppress the muon background induced by cosmic rays and atmospheric neutrinos.

IceCube is a kilometer-scale high energy neutrino telescope under construction at the South Pole, a second-generation instrument expanding the capabilities of the AMANDA telescope. The scientific portfolio of IceCube includes the detection of neutrinos from astrophysical objects such as the sources of the cosmic rays, the search for dark matter, and fundamental physics using a very large data set of atmospheric neutrinos. The design and status of IceCube are briefly reviewed, followed by a summary of results to date from AMANDA and initial IceCube results from the 2007 run, with 22 of a planned 86 strings operational. The new infill array known as Deep Core, which will extend IceCube's capabilities to energies as low as 10 GeV, is also described.

We present results based on data taken in 1997 with the 302-PMT Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array-B10 ("AMANDA-B10") array. Atmospheric neutrinos created in the northern hemisphere are observed indirectly through their charged current interactions which produce relativistic, Cherenkov-light-emitting upgoing muons in the South Pole ice cap. The reconstructed angular distribution of these events is in good agreement with expectation and demonstrates the viability of this ice-based device as a neutrino telescope.
