Deep-sea neutrino telescopes consist of an array of photomultipliers to detect Cherenkov light emitted by neutrino-induced muons and particle showers in the surrounding sea water, allowing for reconstruction of the neutrino direction from position and timing of the Cherenkov photons. Since the photo

The KM3NeT Consortium aims to construct a deep sea research facility at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, which will house a neutrino detector of cubic kilometre scale. The detector will consist of a three-dimensional array of several thousands of photomultipliers, enabling the detection of muons
In this paper we present a possible solution for the acoustic positioning system of KM3NeT, a future very large undersea neutrino telescope. The system consists of an array of budget-priced acoustic transducers that can operate as emitters and receivers in the 20-40 kHz region and withstand the high
An innovative Acoustic Positioning System for the km 3 -scale neutrino telescope has been designed and is under realization within the KM3NeT Consortium. Compared to the Acoustic Positioning Systems used for the km 3 demonstrators, ANTARES and NEMO Phase 1, this new system is based on the ''all data
