Description
The ANTARES neutrino telescope took data for 15 years in the Mediterranean Sea, from 2007 to 2022, and collected a high-purity all-flavour neutrino sample. The final analyses of this sample have been carried out, in the search for neutrino signals in many channels: individual sources, either steady or flaring, also including the information from electromagnetic observations, galactic signals, all-sky diffuse emissions, various searches in the multi-messenger context, but also studies of neutrino properties and searches for physics beyond the standard model. This session collects an overview of such searches and enlightens the future perspectives for neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea.
High-energy neutrinos can convey a significant amount of information on the mechanisms at play in astrophysical environments. Neutrino telescopes have been designed to study such signals, detecting the Cherenkov photons induced in deep waters or ice by the charged products of the neutrino interaction. The physics case for neutrino telescopes will be reviewed in this contribution, providing an...
ANTARES was the first neutrino telescope that operated in the deep sea for more than 15 years. From its location in the northern hemisphere, it long represented the largest detector world-wide with a privileged view towards the Galactic center, providing valuable results in a variety of investigations. It also served as a long-term, real-time, high-bandwidth facility for sea and Earth science...
The ANTARES neutrino telescope has collected data from February 2007 until its shutdown in February 2022. The full ANTARES dataset, including both track-like and shower-like events, has been used to search for both a diffuse, and a galactic neutrino flux. The latter being either evaluated agnostically through the contribution of the Galactic ridge with a single power law, or by evaluating...
ANTARES, an observatory for high-energy neutrinos located below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, finished its observational mission in February 2022 after operating for 15 years. Positioned strategically in the Northern hemisphere and equipped with exceptional angular resolution, it was well-suited for its main goal: identifying the sources of cosmic neutrinos, particularly in surveying...
The water Cherenkov neutrino telescope ANTARES was a 0.01 km3 volume
detector located in the Mediterranean Sea which aimed at the detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos, specially those of Galactic origin. It operated from 2007 until the beginning of 2022, accumulating more than 15 years of data. Its advantageous location allowed ANTARES to explore the Southern Sky, including the Galactic...
Neutrinos can be used to probe a vast number of physics phenomena, as in the case of searches for dark matter candidates in astrophysical objects. Dark matter particles can accumulate in massive astrophysical bodies and annihilate into Standard Model particles that can yield neutrinos. To detect neutrinos, large arrays of light sensors located at great depth and in a large volume of...
The observation of neutrinos of cosmic origin opens a whole new field for neutrino astrophysics. This quest has been paved by pioneering experiments in the second half of the 20th century and is now at the dawn of a new era thanks to numerous new proposals.
In this talk, I will review the continuation of neutrino astronomy following the ANTARES era by providing an overview of some of the...
