1 Optimization studies of a tower based km3 detector
R. Coniglione, C. Distefano and P. Sapienza Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare- Laboratori Nazionali del Sud First estimates of sensitivity to point-like source for different detector lay-out based on tower structures Preliminary results R. Coniglione, KM3NeT-WP2, Paris December ‘08

2 Codes & simulation inputs
Code -> ANTARES codes with Aart strategy modified by LNS Water -> ANTARES absorbtion length normalized at 60m and scattering length used in ANTARES codes PMT -> 10” PMT with 35% of QE – angular acceptance Genova fit1 (the old one) Bkg > 60 kHz distributed on ± 1 ms window (correspond to 40kHz for a standard PMT quantum efficiency) Trigger-> (local coincidence) OR (high amplitude hit p.e.>2.5p.e.) Point source -> d = -60° a = -1.8, -2.0, -2.2 (normalized to a flux of E-2 dN/dE = 10-7 cm-2 GeV sr-1) n atmospheric -> from 102 to 108 GeV and 4p - Bartol flux m atmospheric -> NO sensitivity > 90% confidence level (Feldman and Cousins method) R. Coniglione, KM3NeT-WP2, Paris December ‘08

3 Parameters to be optimized
Detector lay-out Parameter fixed Number of structures -> 91 towers Number&type of PMT -> PMTs of 10” 35%QE Number of PMT/floor -> 6 (2 at bar edges down-horizontally looking) +2 at the center of the bar down-looking at 45° Number of storeys/structure -> 20 Parameters to be optimized Distance between structures -> 130m 150m and 180m Distance between floors -> 30m and 40m Bar length -> 8m and 10 m All the detectors have the same cost R. Coniglione, KM3NeT-WP2, Paris December ‘08
