Six operational ARCA detection units in the infrastructure of the Italian KM3NeT site off Sicily

During a week-long at-sea campaign from April 8 to 14, 2021, the underwater infrastructure of the Italian KM3NeT site off Sicily was successfully implemented. In addition, five new KM3NeT / ARCA sensor units were connected and have since been operational. Located in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 3500 m, about 80 km off […]
