Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT)
The Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT), an underwater observatory in the Mediterranean Sea, is set to detect high-energy neutrinos, or "ghost particles." These elusive particles carry no charge and rarely interact with matter, making their detection challenging yet valuable for understanding cosmic events like supernovae. KM3NeT includes two telescopes: one studying space neutrinos and the other atmospheric neutrinos. Positioned at three Mediterranean sites, it leverages Cherenkov radiation for detection. Underwater environments offer advantages, such as reduced light scattering. The project complements Antarctica's IceCube Observatory, advancing astrophysics and neutrino research.
