87. Particle physics in ice with IceCube DeepCore

Tyce DeYoung (Pennsylvania State University)

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...

29. Search for neutrinos from transient sources with the ANTARES telescope and optical follow-up observations

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...

48. Performance Studies for the KM3NeT Neutrino Telescope

Dr Claudio Kopper (Nikhef)

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...

65. The South Pole Acoustic Test Setup SPATS.

Dr Karim Laihem (RWTH Aachen university)

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...

58. Towards the acoustic U. H. E. neutrino detection in the Mediterranean Sea

Giorgio Riccobene (LNS)

A promising detection technique for EHE neutrinos is based on the identification of the acoustic signature of neutrino induced showers in water. in recent, years the possibility of using hydrophones installed on the infrastructures of new Cherenkov telescopes, allowed start-up of R&D activities on acoustic detection. In the frame- work of the activities of the ANTARES, NEMO and KM3NeT,...
