Abstract:
'The KM3NeT Collaboration is constructing two deep-sea Cherenkov detectors in the Mediterranean Sea, aiming at neutrino oscillation measurements with the ORCA array, while the ARCA array is aimed at neutrino astronomy in the TeV range. In March 2021, a major step will be taken in the construction of ARCA, bringing the total number of detection lines from one to six. If successful, ARCA will be similar to ANTARES in volume. rnIn this contribution, we will present the very first data from the new KM3NeT-ARCA configuration. The commissioning and calibration efforts will be presented. The performance will be demonstrated using atmospheric muons and the first atmospheric neutrinos will be shown. The results will be put in context of the ongoing production plans.'
