Dependence of atmospheric muon flux on seawater depth measured with the first KM3NeT detection units
KM3NeT is a research infrastructure located in the Mediterranean Sea, that will consist of two deep-sea Cherenkov neutrino detectors. With one detector (ARCA), the KM3NeT Collaboration aims at identifying and studying TeV–PeV astrophysical neutrino sources. With the other detector (ORCA), the neutri...

The first KM3NeT detection units were deployed at the Italian and French sites between 2015 and 2017.
