KM3NeT: Physics results and update on the construction plan.
Biagi S.
KM3NeT is a multi-site detector devoted to the detection and study of cosmic neutrinos and their sources in the Universe, and to the measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameters. Two underwater detectors are under construction in the Mediterranean Sea, ARCA (Portopalo di Capo Passero, Italy) and ORCA (Toulon, France), optimized, respectively, for neutrinos in the energy range of 1 TeV--100 PeV and 10 GeV--10 TeV. A long-term plan for the completion of both detectors is in place. Currently, 21 (14) Detection Units are active in the ARCA (ORCA) site. In this communication I will report the main physics results obtained with ARCA and ORCA, in their partial configurations, and an overview of the expected performances of the full detectors will be given. The main technological efforts carried on in the last years will be described, which paved the way to the current mass construction phase.
