Abstract
KM3NeT is a research infrastructure in construction under the Mediterranean Sea. It hosts two large volume neutrino Cherenkov telescopes: ARCA at a depth of 3500 m, located offshore Sicily, and ORCA, 2500 m under the sea level, offshore the southern French coast. The two detectors share the same detection principle and technology and the same data acquisition design, the only difference being the geometrical arrangement of the optical sensors. This allows to span a wide range of neutrino energy and cover a large scientific program: the study of neutrino properties, first of all neutrino mass ordering, the identification and study of high energy neutrino astrophysical sources, indirect dark matter searches and core collapse supernovae detection.

Report
I recommend this article for publication after a few minor corrections.
Requested changes
page 2, line 12: in data taking at *the* ARCA site and 10 DUs at *the* ORCA site. Add the two "the"
page 2, second paragraph: resolution of about 0.1°. Add "for energies above 100 TeV" (if you speak about the parent neutrino and not the muon track)!
one line below: The energy resolution is not 30%, but the resolution of log E_nu is 0.3. This is something totally different. Sigma (logE_nu) = 0.3 is not 30% in E, but a factor 3 in E.
Conclusions: can one really write "under the Mediterranean Sea", or shouldn't it be "in the Mediterranean Sea"??

I cannot find how to substitute the old version with the new one.
I attach the file to this comment.
