KM3NeT: designing an underwater neutrino detector is also a mechanical engineering challenge
Alin Ilioni is a research engineer in the mechanical department of the AstroParticule & Cosmology laboratory (APC, Université de Paris / CNRS / CEA) since 2018. With other fellow engineers and physicists of the European project KM3NeT, he is in charge of developing the Calibration Base of the KM3NeT/ORCA detector, within the framework of the ARGOS Interface project, which receives […]

The ANTARES and HESS collaborations have followed-up the IceCube observation of a first possible high-energy neutrino source candidate, and the APC groups have had a strong role in these searches. The IceCube Collaboration has reported, in a press conference at the US National Science Foundation on July 12th 2018, a correlation between high-energy neutrinos and the blazar known as […]
