The CAPACITY laboratory was born in 2017 from the collaboration between the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the Universit\u00e0 degli Studi della Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d (UniCampania). Thanks to the PACK project (Potenziamento Appulo-Campano di KM3NeT), aimed at the strengthening of the laboratories at INFN Bari, INFN Naples and UniCampania to enlarge the ARCA telescope, the infrastructure was enriched with new experimental facilities.
With the KM3NeT4RR project, CAPACITY has been further enlarged and instrumentation was procured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the KM3NeT Collaboration the CAPACITY laboratory has a unique feature: it is the only laboratory where all the integration and calibration steps, from the photomultiplier to the Digital Optical Module, from the Base Module to the Detection Units are performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The CAPACITY laboratory is a research infrastructure open to host Astroparticle experiments. In such context a collaboration with groups of the Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Napoli \u201cFederico II\u201d (UniNa) and INFN-Napoli for the HyperKamiokande experiment has been established.<\/p>\n<\/div>
