Scientific paper

The NEMO R&D activity aims at the development and validation of key technologies for the construction, deployment and maintenance of an underwater Cherenkov km3 neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. A lot of efforts were spent by the collaboration for the selection of an abyssal site to host the km3 detector. A site, 3500 m depth, 80 km offshore Capo Passero was explored for a long time and was confirmed as optimal for the installation of a km3 telescope. At present the main activity of the collaboration is the realization of two pilot projects: a Phase-1 project, to validate the proposed technologies for the km3 detector on a Test Site at 2000 m depth and the Phase-2 project which consists in the realization of a new infrastructure at the Capo Passero site to test detector components at 3500 m depth and allowing a continuous monitoring of the site.
