Description

KM3NeT is a European deep-sea research infrastructure incorporating a neutrino telescope with a volume of a few cubic kilometre at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. Detector response to point-like sources is presented in terms of sensitivity (flux that can be excluded at 90% CL) and discovery potential (flux that can be detected at 5ο above the background noise).
