Recent results and perspectives of the NEMO project

The latest results and the activities towards the realization of a km 3 Cherenkov neutrino detector carried out by the NEMO Collaboration are described. The realization of a Phase-1 project has validated all relevant technologies proposed for the realization of the km 3 detector on a test site at 20...

Description
Summary:The latest results and the activities towards the realization of a km 3 Cherenkov neutrino detector carried out by the NEMO Collaboration are described. The realization of a Phase-1 project has validated all relevant technologies proposed for the realization of the km 3 detector on a test site at 2000 m depth. The realization of a new infrastructure on the candidate Capo Passero site (for Phase-2 project) will provide the possibility to test detector components at 3500 m depth.
