Admission of the Institute to the KM3Net collaboration

Thanks to RNDr. to Blahoslav Pastirčák, CSc. from the Department of Space Physics, our Institute of Experimental Physics of SAS was admitted to KM3NeT collaboration during its meeting in Salerno, Italy. It was reported in GNN monthly.

KM3NeT is a collaboration of scientific institutes and at the same time a research infrastructure that uses new generation of neutrino telescopes located in the deepest parts of the Mediterranean Sea. It opens a new window in space research by searching for extremely high-energy neutrinos from distant astrophysical sources such as supernovae, gamma-ray bursts or star collisions. Arrays of thousands of optical sensors will detect the faint light of Cherenkov radiation in the deep sea caused by charged particles from neutrino collisions with Earth. Approximately 250 scientists from all over the world participate in the KM3Net collaboration.
