Sensitivity of the KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino telescope to point-like neutrino sources

Understand

KM3NeT will be a network of deep-sea neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea.

• The KM3NeT/ARCA detector, to be installed at the Capo Passero site (Italy), is optimised for the detection of high-energy neutrinos of cosmic origin.
• Thanks to its geographical location on the Northern hemisphere, KM3NeT/ARCA can observe upgoing neutrinos from most of the Galactic Plane, including the Galactic Centre.
• Given its effective area and excellent pointing resolution, KM3NeT/ARCA will measure or significantly constrain the neutrino flux from potential astrophysical neutrino sources.
