Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics (INPA) at LBNL
The INPA Seminar weekly talks are on Fridays, starting at 12:00 pm, unless informed otherwise. The seminar talk starts with a brief presentation of the weekly scientific news. Typically, the talks conclude by 1:00 pm. The seminars are held in the Sessler Conference Room, located in Bldg. 50A- 5132.

INPA SEMINAR – Speaker: Dr. Paschal Coyle (CNRS, Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille, France)-Title: Physics in the abyss with KM3NeT: from neutrino oscillations to cosmic neutrinos
April 25 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Date: April 25, 2025
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Location: Auditorium 50-4 [Hybrid and In-Person]
Speaker: Dr. Paschal Coyle (CNRS, Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille, France)
Title: Physics in the abyss with KM3NeT: from neutrino oscillations to cosmic neutrinos
Abstract: The Kilometre cube neutrino telescope (KM3NeT) is a deep-sea neutrino telescope currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. Its main goals are the search for astrophysical sources of high-energy cosmic neutrinos and the study of neutrino oscillation phenomena with atmospheric neutrinos. It is also a unique cabled marine observatory for sea science studies.
KM3NeT comprises giant 3D arrays of multi-PMT optical modules optimized to detect the Cherenkov light emitted by charged particles resulting from neutrino interactions in the vicinity of the detectors. With its two sites: ARCA a ‘sparse’ km3-scale detector offshore from Sicily and ORCA a ‘dense’ 7 MTon detector offshore from the south of France, KM3NeT is sensitive to neutrino energies ranging from Mev to PeV.
In this talk, the KM3NeT status and prospects are reported. The latest results including; atmospheric neutrino oscillations, tau appearance, neutrino mass ordering, searches for beyond standard model effects and the recent detection of an exceptional ultra-high energy cosmic neutrino are presented.
