Περίληψη:
An underwater neutrino astrophysics laboratory, to be located in the
international waters off the Southwest of Greece, near the town of Pylos
is now under construction. In the last two years a group of physicists
from Greece and Russia have carried out two demonstration experiments in
4km deep water, counting muons and verifying the adequacy of the deep
sea site. Plans are presented for a 100,000 m2 high energy neutrino
detector composed of a hexagon of hexagonal towers, with 1176 optical
detector units. A progress report is given and the physics potential of
a single tower with 168 phototubes (currently under construction) is
described.
