Description
The latest results of the R and D activities for the realisation of a km3 Cherenkov neutrino detector, carried out by the NEMO collaboration, are described. A long-term survey of a 3500 m deep site close to the coast of Sicily has shown that it is optimal for the installation of the detector. A complete feasibility study, that considers all the components of the detector as well as its deployment, has been carried out demonstrating that technological solutions exist for the realization of an underwater km3 detector. The realization of a technological demonstrator of the apparatus (the NEMO Phase 1 project) is under way
