First all-flavour Neutrino Point-like Source Search with the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope

Understand

A search for cosmic neutrino sources using the data collected with the ANTARES neutrino telescope between early 2007 and the end of 2015 is performed.

• For the first time, all neutrino interactions --charged and neutral current interactions of all flavours-- are considered in a search for point-like sources with the ANTARES detector.
• In previous analyses, only muon neutrino charged current interactions were used.
• This is achieved by using a novel reconstruction algorithm for shower-like events in addition to the standard muon track reconstruction.
