The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is the world's largest high energy neutrino telescope, using the Antarctic ice cap as a Cherenkov detector medium. DeepCore, the low energy extension to IceCube, is an infill array with a fiducial volume of around 30 MTon in the deepest, clearest ice, aiming for an energy threshold as low as 10 GeV and extending IceCube's sensitivity to indirect dark matter...

The ANTARES telescope is well suited to detect neutrinos produced in astrophysical transient sources as it can observe a full hemisphere of the sky at all the times with a duty cycle close to unity. Potential sources include Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), Core Collapse Supernovae (CCSNe), and flaring Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs).
To enhance the sensitivity of ANTARES to such sources, a new...

KM3NeT is a future deep-sea neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea with an instrumented volume of a few km3. Its goal is to detect cosmic neutrinos from sources such as supernova remnants, active galactic nuclei and gamma ray bursts by recording the Cherenkov light generated by secondary particles produced during interactions of those neutrinos. To optimize its sensitivity, detailed Monte...

New detection techniques for Ultra-Hight Energy (UHE) neutrinos are required for instrumenting a large detector volume needed to observe the expected low neutrino fluxes at energies of EeV or above. To measure these low fluxes, studies on a larger IceCube neutrino observatory at the south pole have been intensively investigated in the last decade. These studies have introduced a hybrid...
