Latest results and outlook of the KM3NeT neutrino telescope

The KM3NeT research infrastructure includes two underwater Cherenkov telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea, KM3NeT/ARCA and KM3NeT/ORCA. The detectors are under construction but are currently taking data and the first physics results were already obtained. The detection technology is the same for both telescopes but the detector geometries are different as they have been tailored to different scientific goals. The KM3NeT/ARCA telescope, located off-shore the Sicilian coast in Italy, focuses on studying the high-energy cosmic neutrinos in the TeV–PeV energy range. The KM3NeT/ORCA location is off-shore Toulon in France and its main goal is to explore the atmospheric neutrino oscillations in the GeV energy range. An overview of the recent results achieved with the KM3NeT detectors in their partial configurations is given in this work. Also, the sensitivity to the cosmic neutrino measurements and the oscillation studies with the completed KM3NeT/ARCA and KM3NeT/ORCA telescopes are presented.

Abstract

The KM3NeT research infrastructure includes two underwater Cherenkov telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea, KM3NeT/ARCA and KM3NeT/ORCA. The detectors are under construction but are currently taking data and the first physics results were already obtained. The detection technology is the same for both telescopes but the detector geometries are different as they have been tailored to different scientific goals. The KM3NeT/ARCA telescope, located off-shore the Sicilian coast in Italy, focuses on studying the high-energy cosmic neutrinos in the TeV–PeV energy range. The KM3NeT/ORCA location is off-shore Toulon in France and its main goal is to explore the atmospheric neutrino oscillations in the GeV energy range. An overview of the recent results achieved with the KM3NeT detectors in their partial configurations is given in this work. Also, the sensitivity to the cosmic neutrino measurements and the oscillation studies with the completed KM3NeT/ARCA and KM3NeT/ORCA telescopes are presented.
