Seit mehr als 10 Jahren kartographieren die H.E.S.S.-Teleskope in Namibia das Zentrum der Milchstraße in höchstenergetischer Gammastrahlung. Eine detaillierte Analyse neuester H.E.S.S.-Daten, welche die Wissenschaftler am 16. März im Fachjournal Nature veröffentlichten, legt nahe, dass es ihnen gelu...
10 March 2016 – Today, at its launch event at the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam, the European Strategy Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) announced that KM3NeT 2.0 is selected for the 2016 ESFRI Roadmap for Research Infrastructures. The ESFRI Roadmap identifies ...
The joint ANTARES and KM3NeT Collaboration Meeting was hosted in February 2016 at the ECAP. Over a hundred physicists, engineers and technicians from all over Europe came together to discuss the latest news in neutrino hunting.
Today, scientists of the KM3NeT Collaboration have announced KM3NeT 2.0, their ambition for the immediate future to further exploit the clear waters of the deep Mediterranean Sea for the detection of cosmic and atmospheric neutrinos. The published Letter of Intent details the science performance as ...
