Abstract :
KM3NeT neutrino telescope configurations with different detector components and geometry have been simulated and studied with modified ANTARES software. The physics performance of KM3NeT is characterised by two parameters: neutrino effective area and angular resolution of the reconstructed muons. These two benchmark parameters are determined and compared for the different KM3NeT options simulated. The physics performance of the KM3NeT configuration is evaluated by calculating achievable average upper limits for cosmic neutrino fluxes.
