Sensitivity studies for the KM3NeT — •Rezo Shanidze and Sebastian Kuch for the ANTARES- und KM3NeT collaboration — Physics Institute 1, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erwin-Rommel-Str.1, 91058, Erlangen

KM3NeT is an European deep-sea research infrastructure, which will host a neutrino telescope with a volume of at least one cubic kilometre at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The parameters and technical specifications of KM3NeT project will be finalized in the framework of EU-funded Design Study which started in 2006. KM3NeT neutrino telescope will search for the point sources of extra-terrestrial high energy neutrinos as well as for diffuse flux from unidentified sources. The sensitivity for these neutrino fluxes have been studied for the different models of KM3NeT detector, including various geometries and optical modules. The preliminary results of these studies, obtained with Monte Carlo simulations will be presented in the talk.
