Orateur
Description
KM3NeT, consisting of ORCA and ARCA (for Oscillation and Astroparticle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss), is a multi-purpose cubic-kilometer neutrino observatory in construction in the Mediterranean Sea. Although ORCA and ARCA have different primary goals, both detectors can be used to do neutrino astronomy over a very wide energy range, from few GeV to few tens of PeV. Already few detection lines are in operation in both sites. With the growing time domain astronomy, it is more and more crucial to be able to identify neutrinos in real-time. This online neutrino sample will serve to trigger neutrino alerts that will be sent to the astronomy community and to look for time/space coincidence around external electromagnetic and multi-messenger triggers. These real-time searches have the potential to significantly increase the discovery potential of transient cosmic accelerators and in case of poorly localized triggers, such as gravitational waves, to refine the pointing directions. This poster presents the status of KM3NeT's real-time multi-messenger activities, including the online event reconstruction, event classification, alert distribution and the supernova monitoring system.
