Programme Scientifique

The workshop will be devoted to survey the field of experimental neutrino astrophysics. We plan to discuss the physics requirements and technologies to be employed in the construction of very large volume underwater high energy neutrino telescopes.
The workshop will be organized in plenary and parallel sessions. The workshop programme will be defined by the International Scientific Advisory Committee and the parallel session conveners.
  • Plenary Session

    plen
  • Parallel Session on Physics

    par-phys

    neutrino fluxes, H.E. neutrino interactions, sensitivity to astrophysical sources, event reconstruction, detector design parameters, acceptances and resolutions, ...

  • Parallel Session on Photodetection

    par-phot

    Single photon- level optical sensors,
    including photomultipliers and hybrid photon detectors, also PM bases etc.

  • Parallel Session on Engineering for deep deployment neutrino telescopes

    par-engi
