Description
KM3NeT is a water Cherenkov neutrino telescope foreseeing two detection sites in the Mediterranean Sea: ORCA and ARCA, both sharing the same technology. ORCA, under construction offshore Toulon (France), aims at clarifying the neutrino mass ordering exploiting the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos in the energy range of a few GeV to 100 GeV traversing the Earth. ARCA, under construction offshore CapoPassero (Sicily, Italy), is instead optimised for detecting neutrinos in the TeV to PeV scale and focuses on neutrino astronomy searches.
KM3NeT's advantage and challenge is its modular structure that allows for collecting physics data also during the construction phase. In this talk, a description of the data taking, processing, and quality will be given. The focus will be on the so-called run-by-run approach that was used to process data for several detector configurations, from 2020 onwards. This method guarantees the optimization of Monte Carlo simulations, the best control of data-taking conditions, and maximum efficiency in the data processing of high-quality data.
