Bijdrage Nikhef:

Nikhef was one of the driving forces in KM3NeT from its inception, including in various leadership positions. Dutch scientists and engineers contributed from the initial design to the actual implementation and operation. The Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) and parts of the electronics were developed at Nikhef. It is one of the largest detector production sites within KM3NeT. The procedure of how the detector lines are put in the water is also a Dutch design. Nikhef is also a major contributor to the KM3NeT electronics, mechanics and optical network, and developed the software for in-situ selection, calibration, reconstruction and final analysis. Dutch scientists are closely involved in the final analyses of the data to detect cosmic neutrino point sources and to study the properties of the neutrinos.
