The Positioning system for KM3NeT

The paper describes the implementation of a hybrid positioning system based on tilt and compass sensors, integrated into an electronic board, and an acoustic positioning system to be installed aboard KM3NeT. The acoustic system will be capable to fulfil detector relative and absolute positioning, to provide data for cross-fertilisation with Earth and Sea science (bio-acoustics and environmental monitoring) and to allow studies for neutrino acoustic detection. Tilt and Compass boards installed in each optical module provide information about the DOM orientation.

Acoustic Positioning

In the Mediterranean Sea, the KM3NeT Collaboration is constructing a the deep-sea research infrastructure hosting next generation neutrino telescopes. In the KM3NeT telescopes the Cherenkov radiation induced by the secondary charged particles produced in the interaction of cosmic and atmospheric neutrinos within an effective volume between megaton and several cubic kilometers of water are detected by an array of thousands of photomultipliers. The capability of the telescope to determine the direction of secondary charged particles and to point back to the neutrino source is strongly connected to the accuracy on photomultipliers positions. In KM3NeT, the photomultiplier positions are continuously monitored by an acoustic positioning system, designed by the KM3NeT Collaboration to reach an accuracy of the photomultiplier positions better than 20 cm.
