The KM3NeT neutrino detectors employ the same technology and neutrino detection principle, namely a three-dimensional array of photosensors that is used to detect Cherenkov light produced by relativistic particles emerging from neutrino interactions. From the arrival time of the Cherenkov photons (~nanosecond precision) and the position of the sensors (~10cm precision), the energy and direction of the incoming neutrino, as well as other parameters of the neutrino interaction, can be reconstructed. The main difference between different detector designs are the density of photosensors, which is optimised for the study of neutrinos in the few-GeV (ORCA) and TeV-PeV energy range (ARCA), respectively. -- GitLab
