The activities towards the realization of an underwater km3 Čerenkov neutrino detector carried out by the NEMO Collaboration are described. Long term exploration of a 3500 m deep sea site close to the Sicilian coast has shown that it is optimal for the installation of the detector. The realization of a Phase-1 project, which is under way, will validate the proposed technologies for the realization of the km3 detector on a Test Site at 2000 m depth. The realization of a new infrastructure on the candidate site (Phase-2 project) will provide the possibility to test detector components at 3500 m depth.

Abstract
The activities towards the realization of an underwater km3 Čerenkov neutrino detector carried out by the NEMO Collaboration are described. Long term exploration of a 3500 m deep sea site close to the Sicilian coast has shown that it is optimal for the installation of the detector. The realization of a Phase-1 project, which is under way, will validate the proposed technologies for the realization of the km3 detector on a Test Site at 2000 m depth. The realization of a new infrastructure on the candidate site (Phase-2 project) will provide the possibility to test detector components at 3500 m depth.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
