Scientific paper

The NEMO R&D activities towards an underwater km3 Cherenkov neutrino telescope are described. These activities include a long-term survey of a 3500 m deep site, located 80 km off the coast of Capo Passero in Sicily, that shows oceanographic and water properties that are optimal for the installation of the detector. A complete feasibility study was carried out and a preliminary design for an underwater km3 detector was performed on the basis of Monte Carlo simulations aimed at the optimization of the detector performance. The NEMO Phase-1 ended with the successful installation at an underwater test site at 2000 m depth of a technological demonstrator. Moreover, the realization of an infrastructure at the Capo Passero site (3500 m depth) is ongoing.
