MOTIVACIONES: _x000D_ 1. LOS RESULTADOS DE ICECUBE EVIDENCIAN LA EXISTENCIA DE UN FLUJO DE NEUTRINOS DE ALTA ENERGIA Y LA POSIBILIDAD DE FUENTES PUNTUALES. _x000D_ 2. EL TELESCOPIO DE NEUTRINOS KM3NET EN EL MEDITERRANEO PRESENTA VENTAJAS INCUESTIONABLES: MEJOR RESOLUCION ANGULAR EN AGUA, MAYOR VOLUMEN Y EN EL HEMISFERIO NORTE. VIABILIDAD DEMOSTRADA POR SU PREDECESOR ANTARES Y PRIMEROS PROTOTIPOS Y LINEAS. _x000D_ 3. EXISTE UNA GRAN OPORTUNIDAD DE CARA A LA MEDIDA DE LA JERARQUIA DE MASAS DE LOS NEUTRINOS USANDO NEUTRINOS ATMOSFERICOS MEDIANTE LA CONFIGURACION DENSA DEL DETECTOR ORCA, AVALADO POR AGENCIAS DE FINANCIACION EUROPEAS. _x000D_ 4. LAS CONFIGURACIONES ORCA Y ARCA SON COMPLEMENTARIAS E IDONEAS PARA LA DETECCION INDIRECTA DE MATERIA OSCURA A TRAVES DE NEUTRINOS O ESTUDIOS MULTIMENSAJEROS, POTENCIADO AHORA CON LAS ONDAS GRAVITACIONALES. _x000D_ 5. UN DETECTOR DEL TAMAÑO DE KM3NET REQUIERE DE NUEVOS SISTEMAS DE ULTIMA GENERACION, POR EJEMPLO EN TAREAS DE POSICIONAMIENTO ACUSTICO._x000D_ _x000D_ EL OBJETIVO DEL PROYECTO ES CONTINUAR Y AMPLIAR NUESTRA LABOR EN ANTARES Y KM3NET A TRAVES DE LAS SIGUIENTES CONTRIBUCIONES: _x000D_ - ANALISIS DE DATOS DE ANTARES, TALES COMO LA BUSQUEDA DE MATERIA OSCURA. QUEREMOS MEJORAR LOS PRESENTES ANALISIS, INCLUYENDO CASCADAS E INCREMENTANDO LA RESOLUCION ANGULAR EN SUCESOS DE UNA LINEA, CLAVE PARA LA SENSITIVIDAD A BAJAS ENERGIAS. _x000D_ - ESTUDIO Y OPTIMIZACION DE LAS PRESTACIONES DE KM3NET-ARCA/ORCA A TRAVES DEL ANALISIS DE DATOS DE LAS PRIMERAS LINEAS. _x000D_ - MATERIA OSCURA CON ORCA/ARCA: NUESTRA EXPERIENCIA EN ANTARES Y LA RELEVANCIA DE ESTE ANALISIS HACEN NATURAL QUE CONTINUEMOS ESTA LINEA, ESPECIALMENTE CON LA CONFIGURACION ORCA, MAS DENSA. POR OTRO LADO, ARCA ES UN PERFECTO COMPLEMENTO PARA OTRAS HIPOTESIS DE MATERIA OSCURA._x000D_ - JERARQUIA DE MASAS CON ORCA: QUEREMOS APROVECHAR LA OPORTUNIDAD DE COLABORAR EN ESTE IMPORTANTE HITO DADAS LAS SINERGIAS OFRECIDAS POR LA EXPERIENCIA EN ANALISIS DE MATERIA OSCURA. _x000D_ - ALINEAMIENTO Y POSICIONAMIENTO ACUSTICO PARA KM3NET: HEMOS COLIDERADO LAS LABORES RELATIVAS AL SISTEMA ACUSTICO DE ANTARES Y KM3NET. ESTA EXPERIENCIA NOS PERMITE DESARROLLAR EL SISTEMA CORRESPONDIENTE PARA KM3NET Y CONSTITUIRNOS EN EL LABORATORIO ACUSTICO DE REFERENCIA PARA KM3NET. _x000D_ - DETECCION ACUSTICA CON KM3NET: SE TRATA DE LA UNICA TECNICA POSIBLE EN EL MAR PARA NEUTRINOS DE ENERGIA ULTRA-ALTA. SE ESTUDIARA EL FONDO ACUSTICO Y SE DESARROLLARA ALGORITMOS E INSTRUMENTACION PARA PODER APROVECHAR LOS SENSORES ACUSTICOS DE KM3NET PARA ESTE FIN, ESPERANDO PODER ALCANZAR SENSITIVIDAD A NEUTRINOS GZK. _x000D_ - SE ESPERA, QUE TAL Y COMO OCURRIO RECIENTEMENTE, LOS AVANCES DESARROLLADOS EN TECNOLOGIAS ACUSTICAS Y DE SENSORES SUBMARINOS PUEDAN EXPLOTARSE TAMBIEN EN OTROS AMBITOS, REALIZANDO ASI TRANSFERENCIA DE TECNOLOGIA._x000D_ _x000D_ EXPERIENCIA: EL EQUIPO INVESTIGADOR LLEVA MAS DE UNA DECADA PARTICIPANDO EN LOS TELESCOPIOS DE NEUTRINOS ANTARES Y KM3NET CON CONTRIBUCIONES RELEVANTES, SIENDO ESTE EL PRINCIPAL AVAL. LA ESPECIALIZACION DEL GRUPO EN EL USO DE TECNOLOGIAS ACUSTICAS EN DETECTORES DE ASTROPARTICULAS ASEGURA, POR UN LADO, PODER EXPLOTAR DICHAS INFRAESTRUCTURAS EN ANALISIS FISICOS COMO LA BUSQUEDA DE MATERIA OSCURA, MEDIDAS DE OSCILACIONES, DETECCION DE NEUTRINOS ULTRAENERGETICOS Y ESTUDIOS MULTI-MENSAJEROS.

MOTIVATIONS:_x000D_ 1. THE RESULTS OF ICECUBE SHOW THE EXISTENCE OF A HIGH ENERGY NEUTRINO FLUX AND THE POSSIBILITY OF POINT SOURCES._x000D_ 2. THE KM3NET NEUTRINO TELESCOPE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN PRESENTS UNQUESTIONABLE ADVANTAGES: BETTER ANGULAR RESOLUTION IN WATER, GREATER VOLUME AND IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. VIABILITY DEMONSTRATED BY ITS PREDECESSOR ANTARES AND FIRST PROTOTYPES AND LINES._x000D_ 3. THERE IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO MEASURE THE MASS HIERARCHY OF NEUTRINOS USING ATMOSPHERIC NEUTRINOS THROUGH THE DENSE CONFIGURATION OF THE ORCA DETECTOR, ENDORSED BY EUROPEAN FUNDING AGENCIES._x000D_ 4. THE ORCA AND ARCA CONFIGURATIONS ARE COMPLEMENTARY AND SUITABLE FOR THE INDIRECT DETECTION OF DARK MATTER THROUGH NEUTRINOS OR MULTI-MESSENGER STUDIES, NOW ENHANCED WITH GRAVITATIONAL WAVES._x000D_ 5. A DETECTOR OF THE SIZE OF KM3NET REQUIRES NEW SYSTEMS OF LAST GENERATION, FOR EXAMPLE IN TASKS OF ACOUSTIC POSITIONING SYSTEMS._x000D_ _x000D_ THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND OUR WORK IN ANTARES AND, SPECIALLY, KM3NET THROUGH THE FOLLOWING CONTRIBUTIONS:_x000D_ - ANALYSIS OF ANTARES DATA, SUCH AS THE SEARCH FOR DARK MATTER. WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE PRESENT ANALYSES, INCLUDING CASCADES AND INCREASING THE ANGULAR RESOLUTION IN EVENTS OF A LINE, KEY FOR THE SENSITIVITY AT LOW ENERGIES._x000D_ - STUDY AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE BENEFITS OF KM3NET-ARCA/ORCA THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF DATA FROM THE FIRST LINES._x000D_ - DARK MATTER WITH ORCA/ARCA: OUR EXPERIENCE IN ANTARES AND THE RELEVANCE OF THIS ANALYSIS MAKE IT NATURAL FOR US TO CONTINUE THIS LINE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DENSER ORCA CONFIGURATION. ON THE OTHER HAND, ARCA IS A PERFECT COMPLEMENT TO OTHER DARK MATTER HYPOTHESES._x000D_ - MASS HIERARCHY WITH ORCA: WE WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE IN THIS IMPORTANT MILESTONE GIVEN THE SYNERGIES OFFERED BY THE EXPERIENCE IN DARK MATTER ANALYSIS._x000D_ - ALIGNMENT AND ACOUSTIC POSITIONING FOR KM3NET: WE HAVE CO-LED THE WORK RELATED TO THE ACOUSTIC SYSTEM OF ANTARES AND KM3NET. THIS EXPERIENCE ALLOWS US TO DEVELOP THE CORRESPONDING SYSTEM FOR KM3NET AND BECOME THE REFERENCE ACOUSTIC LABORATORY FOR KM3NET._x000D_ - ACOUSTIC DETECTION WITH KM3NET: IT IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE TECHNIQUE IN THE SEA FOR ULTRA-HIGH ENERGY NEUTRINOS. THE ACOUSTIC BACKGROUND WILL BE STUDIED AND ALGORITHMS AND INSTRUMENTATION WILL BE DEVELOPED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF KM3NET ACOUSTIC SENSORS FOR THIS PURPOSE, EXPECTING TO REACH THE SENSITIVITY TO GZK NEUTRINOS._x000D_ - IT IS EXPECTED THAT, AS HAPPENED RECENTLY, THE ADVANCES DEVELOPED IN ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGIES AND SUBMARINE SENSORS CAN ALSO BE EXPLOITED IN OTHER AREAS, THUS MAKING TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ EXPERIENCE: THE RESEARCH TEAM HAS BEEN PARTICIPATING IN THE NEUTRINO TELESCOPES ANTARES AND KM3NET FOR MORE THAN A DECADE WITH RELEVANT CONTRIBUTIONS. THE SKILLS OF THE GROUP IN THE USE OF ACOUSTIC TECHNOLOGIES IN ASTROPARTICLE DETECTORS ENSURES, ON THE ONE HAND, BEING ABLE TO EXPLOIT SUCH INFRASTRUCTURES IN PHYSICS ANALYSES SUCH AS THE SEARCH FOR DARK MATTER, OSCILLATION MEASUREMENTS, DETECTION OF ULTRA-ENERGETIC NEUTRINOS AND MULTI-MESSENGER STUDIES AND, ON THE OTHER SIDE, BEING AT THE FOREFRONT OF TECHNOLOGY AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT.
