Expected discovery potential and sensitivity of the ANTARES neutrino telescope to neutrino point-like sources

Aguilar, J. A.

Understand

The ANTARES telescope is being built in the Mediterranean Sea.

  • The detector consists of a 3D array of photomultipliers (PMTs) that detects the Cherenkov light induced by the muons produced in neutrino interactions.
  • Other signatures can also be detected.
  • Since the neutrino fluxes from point-like sources are expected to be small, it is of the utmost importance to take advantage of the ANTARES pointing accuracy (angular resolution better than 0.3 degrees for muon events above 10 TeV) to disentangle a possible signal from the unavoidable atmospheric neutrino background.
