Résumé

The goal of the thesis is to analyse atmospheric neutrinos which have been measured by the KM3NeT/ORCA detector. The detector takes data with a growing number of detection lines. The candidate will participate in the calibration process of newly assembled lines and assist the shore station team during the sea operations to deploy additional detection lines. Further he/she will help processing the data which have been taken and confront them with simulations. A particle identification procedure needs to be developed to identify on a statistical level the tau neutrino component in the event sample. This will ultimately allow to derive unitarity constraints in the lepton sector.
