Short talk

The SMO (Submarine Multidisciplinary Observatory) project consists of a 3D array of 14 broad-band (10 Hz - 70 kHz) hydrophones, installed on board the NEMO Phase-II detector, a prototype of a detection unit for an underwater neutrino telescope. Thanks to very low noise acquisition electronics and broadband hydrophones, SMO is suitable for both studies of astrophysical neutrino detection and...

82. Positioning System for neutrino telescopes: SMO and KM3NeT-Italia in Capo Passero

Short talk

The KM3NeT-Italia project, leaded by the INFN, is building the first block of the forthcoming KM3NeT underwater neutrino telescope (www.km3net.org). A prototype detection unit has been deployed the 23rd March 2013. It consists of a vertical sequence of 8 horizontal structures called floors, kept vertical by appropriate buoyancy on the top and follows the tower layout. The tower has been...

67. Correlation between underwater noise level and AIS data in the Gulf of Catania (Sicily)

Ms Sara Rita Pulvirenti (LNS)

Short talk

NEMO-SN1 is a sea-floor multidisciplinary observatory, managed by INGV and INFN and connected to shore by an electro-optical cable. It is located at a distance of 25 km from the Eastern Sicily Coast, off-shore Catania, at an operative depth of 2100 m. SN1 is equipped with geophysical and oceanographic sensors that acquire data since June 2012. An array of hydrophones is also installed on...
