Figure 3.27: Median angles between neutrino and the muon and its reconstructedtrajectory as a function of energy of the neutrino.3.2.1.3 Status of the detectorThe construction of the detector started in 2006 when the first line was deployed.But this was preceded by the foundation period in 2001 and 2002 where theelectro-optical cable was laid out between the detector site and the onshore stationalong with the installation of the junction box. The construction was over in 2008when the last two detector lines were installed. Nevertheless, the detector startedcollecting data since the installation of the first line, then through 2007 when thefifth line was installed and continued to do so throughout the installation of theremaining seven lines. The detector passed through periods where not all lineswere operational or some were not yet installed as previously mentioned, theseperiods can be seen in table 3.2. The detector has been working with full capacity(12 lines) since 2008.59
