Description
The KM3NeT-Italy Collaboration has entered the production
stage of an 8 tower
apparatus that will be deployed at about 100 km away from
the Sicily coast. The
architecture of the system is based on the NEMO Phase-2
prototype tower that is
taking data since the deployment in March 2013. In order to
optimize production
costs, power consumption, and usability some components
have been re-
engineered by taking advantage of the previously gained
experience and
technological progress. The aim of this contribution is to give
an overview of the
main features that characterize the new apparatus.
