The sector of the ANTARES line to be deployed in the NEMO site

The NEWASTR project consists in the realization and deployment of an ANTARES mini-string in NEMOʹs Capo Passero site together with the NEMO tower. This project has been proposed to make an on-site comparison between the two different layouts and to check how the bioluminescence phenomena can be affected by the detector geometry. In addition it will give a direct measurement of the bioluminescence activity immediately comparable to the ANTARES site data, since the detector is substantially the same. The technical specification of the NEWASTR string and the modifications to adapt line to the deeper site will be presented. The technical problems we encountered and the solutions we have used to make this project successfully work are also discussed.
