The KM3NeT Collaboration is constructing two large neutrino detectors in the Mediterranean Sea: ARCA, located near Sicily and aiming at neutrino astronomy, and ORCA located near Toulon and designed for neutrino oscillation studies. The two detectors together will have hundreds of Detection Units (DUs) with Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) maintained vertical by buoyancy forming a large 3D...
Acoustic detection provides a promising approach to build volume-efficient detectors, for the observation of ultra high energy cosmic neutrinos. In this work, the energy deposition profile of particle showers in water above EeV energies is simulated. An adaptation of the program CORSIKA is used for this purpose. The energy deposition profiles of the showers are used to compute the acoustic...
