โœฆ Synopsis

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 induced by high energy cosmic neutrinos. In order to reach an angular resolution better than 0:1 3 for energies above 100 TeV, high quality positioning and timing calibration are required. In this paper, the systems designed for the time calibration of the detector will be summarized, including their expected performances and some technical details.

KM3NeT is a deep-sea research infrastructure to be constructed in the Mediterranean Sea hosting a neutrino telescope with a volume of at least one cubic kilometre. The scientific case for a neutrino telescope of a cubic kilometre scale is overwhelming. The infrastructure it requires will be shared b

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are powerful and highly variable sources of gamma rays that indicate the existence of cosmic particle accelerators. Under the assumption of hadronic acceleration in the jet, the expected neutrino energy spectrum is derived according to the intrinsic fireball model parameters a
