Abstract

The results of the Soviet-Greek tests of the 10 PMTs deep undersea detector module for NESTOR — optical neutrino telescope near Pylos, Greece are presented. The vertical muon intensity and the angular distribution of muons at 3000–4000 m depths were measured by that module during r/v “VITYAZ” cruise in July-91. The effective registration area of the module for vertical muons was evaluated to be close to 400 m. The proposal to construct 10 m NESTOR by the module principle to install a few supermodules or superstrings modules (each superstring consists of 6 modules) is under consideration.
