Neutrino Telescopes for Explosive Astrophysics

Abstract

The study of nuclear and particle astrophysics phenomena is a long standing tradition in Catania. A huge undersea neutrino telescope, KM3Net, is presently being implemented roughly 100 km from the Sicilian shore (details at km3net@org). Various thesis subject are available, both on the experimental and the phenomenological side. The work will be done in collaboration with INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Sud and Sezione di Catania.
