📢KM3NET DETECTS THE HIGHEST ENERGY NEUTRINO EVER OBSERVED

This #KM3NeT_UHE event KM3-230213A is estimated to have a record neutrino energy of 220 PeV, or 220 million billion electronvolts

#RecordNeutrino
A new #KM3NeT laboratory, INTEGRA (INTEGration & Research Area), is inaugurated today in Salerno!

It is dedicated to assemble and test KM3NeT Optical Modules to speed up even more the growth of our #neutrino detector📈

Unravelling the masses of the three #neutrino types?!

With the #NWO money @nikhef.bsky.social received for #KM3NeT we can bring this dream a step closer.

In addition we received funding for a prototype of an acoustic neutrino detector extension of KM3NeT!

Five days of great discussions at #CERN on #ARCA & #ORCA progress: from #dataanalysis and #detector systematics to #astrophysics and #darkmatter!

Hands-on sessions, new ideas, and a fantastic visit to CERN’s Neutrino Platform.

Thanks to the organisers, see you in Valencia in January!

🛥️ Welcome ORCA33! 🌞

We had a new successful sea campaign:
1) We reconnected 4 lines previously installed and tested on node 1 to the newly deployed node 2
2) We deployed and connected 5 new lines to node 2

Big thanks to everyone involved for this great step!

Yes! we have installed a second 'node' for detection units in the #ORCA seafloor network! A complex operation executed by ship crews, ROV operators and #KM3NeT teams on board and in the control station on the shore.

Congratulations and many thanks to all of them!
