Descripción
The KM3NeT research infrastructure in the Mediterranean is a multi-purpose cubic-kilometer neutrino observatory consisting of two detectors optimized to study cosmic and atmospheric neutrinos between GeV to PeV energies. Additionally, KM3NeT multi-photomultiplier optical modules allow the detection of nearby MeV interaction products by selecting nanosecond coincidences within the...
While large neutrino telescopes have so far mainly focused on the detection of TeV-PeV astrophysical neutrinos, several efforts are ongoing to extend the sensitivity down to the GeV level for transient sources. Only a handful of searches have been carried out at the moment leaving the signature of astrophysical transients poorly known in this energy range.
In this contribution, we discuss the...
KM3NeT, a new generation of neutrino telescope, is currently being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. While its two sites, ORCA and ARCA, were respectively designed for the determination of neutrino mass hierarchy and high-energy neutrino astronomy, this contribution presents a study of the detection potential of KM3NeT in the MeV-GeV energy range. At these low energies, the data rate is...
