Using a line-of-sight transport formalism, the paper finds a 3.1 sigma tension between the KM3NeT ultra-high-energy event and IceCube non-observation under a diffuse power-law flux, with stronger tension for steady point sources.

abstract
KM3NeT is a deep-sea research infrastructure being constructed in the Mediterranean Sea. It will host the next generation Cherenkov neutrino telescope and nodes for a deep sea multidisciplinary observatory, providing oceanographers, marine biologists, and geophysicists with real time measurements. The neutrino telescope will complement IceCube in its field of view and exceed it substantially in sensitivity. Its main goal is the detection of high energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin. The detector will have a modular structure with six building blocks, each consisting of about one hundred Detection Units (DUs). Each DU will be equipped with 18 multi-PMT digital optical modules. The first phase of construction has started and shore and deep-sea infrastructures hosting the future KM3NeT detector are being prepared offshore Toulon, France and offshore Capo Passero on Sicily, Italy. The technological solutions for the neutrino detector of KM3NeT and the expected performance of the neutrino telescope are presented and discussed.

Exploring ultra-high energy neutrino experiments through the lens of the transport equation
Using a line-of-sight transport formalism, the paper finds a 3.1 sigma tension between the KM3NeT ultra-high-energy event and IceCube non-observation under a diffuse power-law flux, with stronger tension for steady point sources.
