The evolution of the KM3NeT Data Acquisition System for Phase-2 of the experiment

The KM3NeT experiment is composed of two underwater large-scale neutrino telescopes currently under construction and located in the Mediterranean Sea, namely ARCA and ORCA, mostly designed for studying cosmic neutrinos and neutrino properties respectively. The two KM3NeT detectors share a common modular Data Acquisition System, which is designed to be scalable with the size of the detectors. The KM3NeT/ARCA detector design has changed from a previous network architecture, based on a customized version of the White Rabbit time synchronization protocol, to the current network, which follows a standard White Rabbit use case. This solution allows us to expand the telescope to the foreseen cubic kilometer volume. In this presentation the evolution of the Data Acquisition System according to the new architecture is presented.

Abstract

The KM3NeT experiment is composed of two underwater large-scale neutrino telescopes currently under construction and located in the Mediterranean Sea, namely ARCA and ORCA, mostly designed for studying cosmic neutrinos and neutrino properties respectively. The two KM3NeT detectors share a common modular Data Acquisition System, which is designed to be scalable with the size of the detectors. The KM3NeT/ARCA detector design has changed from a previous network architecture, based on a customized version of the White Rabbit time synchronization protocol, to the current network, which follows a standard White Rabbit use case. This solution allows us to expand the telescope to the foreseen cubic kilometer volume. In this presentation the evolution of the Data Acquisition System according to the new architecture is presented.
