In 2013 the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a cubic-kilometer deep ice detector located at the geographic South Pole, observed a flux of high-energy neutrinos of extra-terrestrial origin marking the beginning of a new era in neutrino astronomy. The observed neutrino flux lies in the 30 TeV - 2 PeV energy range and its detection has been further confirmed by different analysis techniques and in...

The ANTARES detector is an underwater neutrino telescope, the largest in the Northern Hemisphere and the first one ever built under the sea, located in the Mediterranean Sea 40 km off the Southern coast of France, at a depth of 2.5 km. It comprises 885 photomultiplier tubes distributed in twelve detection lines. The signal due to neutrinos is searched by reconstructing the tracks of secondary...
