4 Also a very versatile and convenient area
5 Site characteristics a broad plateau: 8x9 km 2 in area, 7.5 nautical miles from shore depth: ~4000m transmission length: m at λ=460 nm underwater currents: <10 cm/sec measured over the last 10 years optical background: ~50 khz/om due to K40 decay, bioluminescence activity (1% of the experiment live time) sedimentology tests: flat clay surface on sea floor good anchoring ground.
6 Bioluminescence work 0 Bioluminescent sources (m -3 ) Sources [m -3 ] 0 Nestor Antares Depth (m) Depth [m] Atlantic
7 Extensive measurements of deep sea currents The deep currents have very low velocities that rarely exceed 6 cm/s. In general, the flow at the Pylos site of 4500 m depth is northward and 90% of the time is below 4 cm/s, and at the 5200 m deep site is southward but substantially weaker, with 95% of the time the current speed being below the instrument s measurement threshold Pylos 4500 m deep site Pylos 5200 m deep site
8 Light transmission in the water Older measurements Is there a significant λ dependence? Published data for pure water 1 For λ = 460 nm Absorption Coefficient (m -1 ) λ=300nm λ=700nm
9 The Cable Deployment: June 2000 ElectroOptical cable to shore (18 fibers +1 conductor) Deployed in June 2000 by the cableship MAERSK- FIGHTER (ALCATEL- TELEDANMARK) Cable was damaged during laying because of ship s problems. Cable landing has been completed and first three km have been buried 2 m inside the bottom sand. NESTOR Star Deployment (March 2003) 9

28 In parallel with NESTOR activities KM3NeT Design Study preparation and Proposal submission Preparation Amsterdam, October 2003 VLVNT workshop 3. KM3NeT co-ordination meeting Munich, November 2003 ApPEC Design Study Workshop 4.

March 2004, 17:00 MET DS deadline! Approval-Start Approved, September 2005 Start-Kickoff February 2006 end November 2009
29 Objectives and Scope of the Design Study Establish path from current projects to KM3NeT: Critical review of current technical solutions; New developments, thorough tests; Comparative study of sites and recommendation on site choice (figure of merit: physics sensitivity / ); Assessment of quality control and assurance; Exploration of possible cooperation with industry; Investigation of funding and governance models. Total budget for KM3NeT DS 20 Meuro EC contribution 10 Meuro Half way deliverable CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REPORT (CDR)

31 KM3NeT CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REPORT Delivered to EC and published April KM3NeT CDR DESIGN GOALS Topics addressed Lifetime Environmental Impact Energy Range Zenith Angular Acceptance Angular Resolution of Detector Time and Position Resolution Charge Dynamic Range Two-hit Time Separation Coincidences To optimise the physics potential of the neutrino telescope, design goals for these topics have been quantified for the technical implementations. Work is now continuing towards Technical Design Report (TDR)
32 FP7 Preparatory Phase for projects on the ESFRI roadmap ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/esfri/docs/pse-report-roadmap-wg-2006_en.pdf KM3NeT PP proposal endorsed with total budget ~10 Meuro, EC support 5 M 3 year project March March 2011 Objectives: Definition of legal structure & governance Political convergence: site issue & funding Strategic issues: new partners, extendability of detector,.. Operational phase: organisation & user communities Pre procurement with industrial partners System prototyping
33 SUMMARY so far Science case of KM3NeT shown: Neutrino (astro)physics Marine and Earth sciences DS Conceptual Design Report KM3NeT published DS Technical Design Report foreseen in October 2009 PP Working towards start of construction in 2011 KM3NeT will be a new generation facility: Point source sensitivity ~50 times that of ANTARES Point source sensitivity ~3 times that of IceCube Will complement IceCube in field of view New opportunities for marine and earth sciences New groups are more than welcome
34 Key Issue: Siting For many future Research Infrastructures of Pan European interest siting is a key issue. Example : European Spallation Source ESS. 3 candidates Bilbao (Spain)-Debrecen (Hungary)-Lund (Sweden) Same applies to KM3NeT though site criteria are different. Anticipated in DS proposal. "...The selection of the optimal site for the infrastructure presents a unique challenge to our scientific community due to the intricate interplay between scientific, technological, financial and socio-political / regional considerations. It is our intention to deliver a clear prioritisation of site qualities based on scientific, technological and financial aspects only. However, depending on the strength of this prioritisation, the final site selection may well be determined by socio-political / regional considerations. Whether weak or strong, this Design Study prioritisation will provide a sound, rational basis for decision-makers..."
35 Timescale for site decision. At time of writing KM3NeT DS proposal this was end 2009-early Original EC proposal for FP7 called for ~ 2.2 Beuro to be invested in early construction phase (engineering phase) of new RI s (20-25% of cost). In final FP7 budget no funds for EC participation in RI construction Commission Final Council FP7 Proposal FP7 Decision (keuro) (keuro) Research Infrastructures Research for the benefit of SMEs Regions of Knowledge Research Potential Science in Society Activities of International Cooperation Coherent development of research policies Total Capacities
36 Final FP7 Council decision Support for new research infrastructures: ---Construction of new infrastructures and major upgrades of existing ones focussing mainly on preparatory phases, to promote the emergence of new research facilities, in accordance with the principle of variable geometry, building primarily upon the work conducted by ESFRI... As far as the construction of new infrastructures is concerned, the potential for scientific excellence of the convergence regions as well as the outermost regions should be taken into account, whenever appropriate. An efficient coordination of the Community financial instruments, in particular the Seventh Framework Programme and the structural funds, will be ensured. Such an efficient coordination HAS NOT been ensured Problem: Structural Funds (ERDF) Budget must be finalized by end 2008 KM3NeT DS timetable for prioritization of site qualities out of sync with ERDF timetable
37 Greece Letter of the Greek Secretary General for RTD (Ministry of Development) to Commissioner Potocnik, in copy to the Greek Minister of Development Mr.C Folias, dated informing him of the Greek Government's decision to host the Cubic Kilometer Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT), a European Research Infrastructure on the ESFRI Roadmap, and fund it from 2009 on with 20% of the total cost with a ceiling of 50 Million euro if it were located in Pylos. This decision has been repeatedly reiterated since then and will be communicated to the EC Research Ministers at their meeting in Brussels on December 2, 2008.
38 Site Criteria HENAP report following OECD Mega(now Global)Science Forum Workshop held in Taormina in 1997 High Energy Neutrino Observatories ; Report of the High Energy Neutrino Astrophysics panel to PaNAGIC Committee: HENAP REPORT 1-July 2002 HENAP Physical and Geographical criteria for optimal site The deeper the better The site should be close to the coast The site should be a safe distance from shelf breaks and underwater canyons The site should exhibit good optical underwater properties The sedimentation rate at the site should be as low as possible Underwater currents should be small and have stable direction
39 Also a very versatile and convenient area
40 in addition to HENAP KM3NeT list of parameters relevant to choice of site Deployment harbour Logistics Shore premises Data connections Local and regional support Operational support Cost and timescales of all this The dossiers should also describe the deep-sea site characteristics (at least depth, location, proximity to shore, maximum size of extended deep-sea infrastructure) ---> See HENAP criteria At the EU Research Ministers meeting on December 2 nd, the Greek case for Pylos will address both the HENAP criteria and the KM3NeT parameters.
