Description
Summary:KM3NeT/ORCA is an underwater neutrino telescope which is currently being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. Its geometry has been optimized for the study of neutrino oscillations using atmospheric neutrinos (within an energy range of 1–100 GeV). In particular, this will allow to measure the neutrino mass hierarchy as well as the oscillation parameters θ23 and Δm312. The data from the ORCA detector with a six string configuration and one year of exposure has already allowed to exclude the non-oscillation hypothesis with more than 5σ. In this contribution an overview of current results will be presented and the sensitivity of a fully deployed ORCA detector will be discussed.
