Current knowledge of the Universe is based on information carried by electromagnetic radiation, gravitational waves, neutrinos, and cosmic rays. For over a century, scientists have observed cosmic rays, but the understanding of their place of production is limited. As a product of cosmic ray interaction, neutrinos can shed light on the extreme part of the Universe. IceCube Neutrino Observatory...
After more than fifteen years, the ANTARES detector stopped its data taking last February and is currently being dismissed. ANTARES has marked the history of undersea neutrino telescopes, demonstrating the feasibility of this technology and paving the way to neutrino telescopes of the new generation, in particular to the KM3NeT-ARCA and ORCA detectors, at present under construction in two deep...
KM3NeT is a multi-site detector devoted to the detection and study of cosmic neutrinos and their sources in the Universe, and to the measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameters. Two underwater detectors are under construction in the Mediterranean Sea, ARCA (Portopalo di Capo Passero, Italy) and ORCA (Toulon, France), optimized respectively for neutrinos in the energy range of 1 TeV-100...
The detection of high energy (HE) extra-Galactic neutrinos by IceCube demonstrates the potential held by neutrino astronomy for identifying the sources of HE cosmic rays and for providing unique constraints on models of high energy astrophysical sources. Fulfilling this potential relies on the electromagnetic identification of the neutrino sources. I will discuss what we have learned from...
