“…Starting from February 2007, in fact, the detector fell down by about 40 m; thus the 4th floor was at about 80 m from the sea bottom. On the other hand during the same period of time we observed an increase of the underwater currents [23], and as shown by the ANTARES Collaboration [26], the level of bioluminescence is usually correlated with the value of the sea current. The somehow contradictory decrease of the baseline can be explained as a consequence of the increase of water turbidity, due to particulate, close to the bottom and under the effect of the increased current.…”

The NEMO Collaboration installed and operated an underwater detector including prototypes of the critical elements of a possible underwater km(3) neutrino telescope: a four-floor tower (called Mini-Tower) and a Junction Box. The detector was developed to test some of the main systems of the km(3) detector, including the data transmission, the power distribution, the timing calibration and the acoustic positioning systems as well as to verify the capabilities of a single tridimensional detection structure to reconstruct muon tracks. We present results of the analysis of the data collected with the NEMO MiniTower. The position of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) is determined through the acoustic position system. Signals detected with PMTs are used to reconstruct the tracks of atmospheric muons. The angular distribution of atmospheric muons was measured and results compared to Monte Carlo simulations.
