Abstract
The NEMO Collaboration is involved in a long term R&D activity towards the construction of a km3 telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. It has dedicated special efforts in the development of technologies for a km3 detector and in the search, characterization and monitoring of a deep sea site adequate for the installation of the Mediterranean km3. Now the NEMO Collaboration is involved in the Phase 1 of the project, planning to install a fully equipped deep-sea facility to test prototypes and develop new technologies for the detector. A full Montecarlo simulation has been performed to analyse the response of a reduced-size detector to the passage of atmospheric muons. Preliminary steps of the simulation are presented in this work.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
