During the last years the IceCube collaboration has detected the largest astrophysical neutrino sample ever obtained up to few PeV energies. The origin of these events encourage the astroparticle community and several hypotheses are now under debate. Based on temporal and spatial correlations, we explore some potential TeV gamma-ray (galactic and extragalactic) sources to explain some events....

A primary goal of neutrino telescopes is the search for astrophysical neutrinos in the TeV-PeV range. This covers generic searches for any diffuse cosmic neutrino flux as well as more specific searches for astrophysical sources such as AGN and GRBs or close-by Galactic sources.
The first generation, ANTARES, has been running in its final configuration since 2008. It is today the largest...

The Galaxy is a guaranteed source of neutrinos produced by the interaction of cosmic rays (CR) with the interstellar gas. According to conventional CR propagation models, however, this emission may be too weak to be detected even by Km^3 scale neutrino telescopes.
This belief has been questioned by recent Fermi-LAT results which showed that the CR spectrum in the inner Galactic plane is...

KM3NeT, located in the abysses of the Mediterranean Sea, is a distributed research infrastructure that will host a km3-scale neutrino telescope (ARCA), offshore from Capo Passero in Italy, for high-energy neutrino astronomy, and a megaton scale detector (ORCA), offshore from Toulon in France, for the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy.
The ORCA array is optimised for the study of...
