<p>The <b>NESTOR Project</b> (Neutrino Extended Submarine Telescope with Oceanographic Research Project) is an international scientific collaboration whose target is the deployment of a neutrino telescope on the sea floor off <a href="Pylos%2C_Greece" class="mw-redirect" title="Pylos, Greece">Pylos, Greece</a>.

<p><a href="Neutrinos" class="mw-redirect" title="Neutrinos">Neutrinos</a> are elementary particles first detected in the 1950s, long after their theoretical prediction by theorist <a href="Wolfgang_Pauli" title="Wolfgang Pauli">Wolfgang Pauli</a>. Neutrinos (or anti-neutrinos) are created during certain <a href="Nuclear_reactions" class="mw-redirect" title="Nuclear reactions">nuclear reactions</a>, where <a href="Proton" title="Proton">protons</a> are transformed into <a href="Neutron" title="Neutron">neutrons</a> and vice versa. Neutrinos do not interact with matter via either the <a href="Electromagnetic_force" class="mw-redirect" title="Electromagnetic force">electromagnetic</a>, the strong nuclear, or <a href="Gravity" title="Gravity">gravitational</a> forces, since they are electrically neutral leptons and their <a href="Rest_mass" class="mw-redirect" title="Rest mass">rest mass</a> is very small. They interact with the <a href="Nucleon" title="Nucleon">nucleons</a> (neutrons and protons) only via <a href="Weak_nuclear_interactions" class="mw-redirect" title="Weak nuclear interactions">weak nuclear interactions</a>. Since they do not interact with matter via the electromagnetic or gravitational forces, it is extremely difficult to detect them. Since their mass is very small (less than 14 <a href="Electronvolt" title="Electronvolt">eV</a>) they travel with speeds that are very close to the speed of light in <a href="Vacuum" title="Vacuum">vacuum</a>.

<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="Neutrino_detector" title="Neutrino detector">Neutrino detector</a></div>

<p>Because neutrinos are very weakly interacting, neutrino detectors must be very large to detect a significant number of neutrinos. After completion, NESTOR will consist of a large number of glass balls (the "eyes") containing <a href="Photomultiplier" title="Photomultiplier">photomultiplier</a> tubes. The "eyes" are connected with star-shaped <a href="Titanium" title="Titanium">titanium</a> frames. Many frames compose a NESTOR tower. The whole construction is placed at the bottom of the sea to reduce noise from <a href="Cosmic_radiation" class="mw-redirect" title="Cosmic radiation">cosmic radiation</a> (depth 4000m). The detectors are connected with the terminal station through a 31-km-long deep-sea, <a href="Optic_fiber" class="mw-redirect" title="Optic fiber">optic fiber</a> cable for data collection.

</p><p><a href="Pylos%2C_Greece" class="mw-redirect" title="Pylos, Greece">Pylos</a> was selected for the installation of the telescope for several reasons. It combines deep water with close proximity to the shore, a convenient combination for the installation of the NESTOR towers and the communication and power supply cables. It is also located in an anti-diametric point with respect to the <a href="Project_DUMAND" class="mw-redirect" title="Project DUMAND">DUMAND</a> neutrino telescope in the <a href="Pacific" class="mw-redirect" title="Pacific">Pacific</a> ocean and therefore, it is possible to compare observations and study correlations between the observed neutrino.

</p><p>Original surveys of the seafloor were conducted in 1989, 1991, 1992 and scientific conferences of the NESTOR Collaboration were held in the 1990s.

</p><p>In March 2003, the NESTOR prototype was lowered to the depth of 3800 meters some 30 kilometers off the coast of <a href="Greece" title="Greece">Greece</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The prototype's results were published in 2005.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The spokesperson for the project is <a href="Leonidas_Resvanis" title="Leonidas Resvanis">Leonidas Resvanis</a> from <a href="University_of_Athens" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Athens">University of Athens</a>.

</p><p>In 2014 the project was still applying funding to build the actual telescope.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The NESTOR collaboration is now (2018) part of the <a href="KM3NeT" title="KM3NeT">KM3NeT</a>-collaboration. As such, they are not developing the NESTOR telescope anymore as its own instance, but Km3Net has a planned telescope site off the coast of Pylos (which can thus be seen as a continuation of the NESTOR project to build an underwater telescope off the coast of Pylos).<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
