Description
The MACRO detector was one of the largest experiments pioneering high energy astrophysics with neutrinos.
The successive generation of detectors in the Mediterranean Sea (ANTARES and KM3NeT) inherited not only the experimental techniques and part of the simulation codes for the neutrino signal, but also the information needed to describe and characterize the background of atmospheric muons.
I’ll describe how MACRO contributed to different aspect of neutrino astrophysics up to the observation of a 200 PeV neutrino event in KM3NeT.
