Four months ago we published the exciting #KM3NeT_UHE #RecordNeutrino #KM3230213A in @nature.com
The scientific community is eagerly working on understanding this observation. Beside our 5 companion papers, almost 30 papers have been published in a broad range of topics:

Did you hear about the #KM3NeT_UHE #RecordNeutrino observation published in @nature.com on the 12th of Feb?
We collected ~300 main media articles from all over the world. An overview from Nature is given here nature.altmetric.com/details/1741...
Below, we list some of the nicest stories
Thank you @particleclara.bsky.social for this very nice explanatory video about our #KM3NeT_UHE #RecordNeutrino observation!
A new companion paper is out (No.5)!📜🔔
It tests Lorentz symmetry via high-energy neutrino analysis using our #KM3230213A, setting the tightest limit on neutrino speed vs. light speed (less than 1 part in 10^21)

We’re extremely happy that the news is finally out!
See here a visualization of the highest energy neutrino ever observed which triggered more than 35% of the active light sensors in our KM3NeT detector
#KM3NeT_UHE #RecordNeutrino
Full paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The energy of the #KM3NeT_UHE #RecordNeutrino is much larger than of any neutrino detected so far, and the first in an unexplored energy region of great interest
Such high-energy neutrinos are expected from different possible origins: cosmic accelerators or cosmogenic neutrinos
Based on the enormous amount of light observed (y-axis) and its near-horizontal direction (x-axis) the #KM3NeT_UHE #RecordNeutrino "KM3-230213A" (shown with a white cross) originated most likely from the interaction of a cosmic muon neutrino in the vicinity of the KM3NeT detector
The enormous amount of light of the #KM3NeT_UHE event triggered >3600 of our active light sensors (PMTs)
According to simulations for muons with the same position and direction as KM3-230213A we recorded a muon of 120 PeV and derived from that a #RecordNeutrino energy of 220 PeV
📢KM3NET DETECTS THE HIGHEST ENERGY NEUTRINO EVER OBSERVED
This #KM3NeT_UHE event KM3-230213A is estimated to have a record neutrino energy of 220 PeV, or 220 million billion electronvolts
