Description

The KM3NeT collaboration is approaching the phase of definition of a technical project for a high energy neutrino telescope to be installed in the Mediterranean sea. In this phase MonteCarlo simulations can give constraints on some important parameters for a technical design of the detector. In this contribution the performance of a detector made of tree-dimensional structures hosting the optical modules will be compared aiming at the optimization of some parameters of the detector layout. The ANTARES software modified for a km3 detector is used. In particular, in case of structures based on bars the optimization of the bar length, and the performance of detectors equipped with optical modules with different characteristics (quantum efficiency, directionality….) will be shown.
