Abstract
DUMAND is a project to build a deep underwater laboratory. The main goal is to detect and study sources of high energy neutrinos. DUMAND Stage II will consist of 216 optical modules arranged in nine strings 230 m high in an octagon 105 m in diameter. The array is to be located approximately 30 km offshore, west of Keahole Point off the Big Island of Hawaii at an ocean depth of 4.8 km. The array will have an effective area of 20 000 m 2 for throughgoing muons from > 100 GeV neutrinos of atmospheric and extraterrestrial origin. The angular resolution for reconstructed muons is 1°. The minimum detectable flux from a point source is 10–10 cm –2 s –1 above 1 TeV.
