Assessment of water, geological, oceanographic properties of candidate sites. Refined characterisation of the site geology properties which may have impact on the structures of the neutrino telescope. Long-term time evolution of optical, oceanographic and environmental parameters of seawater (for instance, currents, temperature, salinity, light transmission, optical noise, acoustic noise, chemistry, radioactivity) in the detector region and at seafloor.

parts) handling connection/disconnection, and eventually

maintenance, of deep sea structure visual inspection of deep sea floor and of

detector parts. Design/optimize stationary docking stations

WP5 Kick-off meeting outcome

Start close organization between collaborating Institutes

Set-up coordination Confirm agreement on proposed program of work and

on objectives Define a “short term” (3 months) agenda:

existing deep-sea data assessment, definition of common analysis method, identification of needed measurements

definition of “long-term” measurements for final characterization

… The work on other tasks need some imput from WP2,

WP3, WP4, WP7, the activity will start in few months.

Risks connected to WP5 ?

Site characteristics study activity (spoiled by the site selection duty) can be successful for all quantities that have been already extensively measured and that do not need a long term, multi-year and multi-seasonal measurements

Detector deployment/handling tools design are “design dependent” but should not create problems

Deep Sea Infrastructure design, as well as power distribution, cables and connectors selection, will be based on commercial technology or, at most, on developments that do not need an “out of the market” technological effort

What we promised as deliverables in ANNEX1 can be reached

Present technologies are already sufficient for our needs but expensive, our work will be mainly devoted to simplify all deep-sea operation, to maximize the operative time, to reduce the operation costs

Docking system for AUV-ROV

AUV

ROV

Docking Station.Prototype to be built for shallow water test

get the AUV on loan, modify the connection

, …

get it on loan for shallow water test

A 3500m depth ROV design and construction is already funded (project PEGASO funded with 5.6 Meuro by the “Regione Siciliana”) and under realization by INFN and INGV (P.I.).

How many docking stations ?

Where to place them ?Which kind of connectors ?

Which are AUV/ROV critical parts ?How to improve their reliability ?

How to control them ?
