Expected discovery potential and sensitivity of the ANTARES neutrino telescope to neutrino point-like source | J.A. Aguilar
; ANTARES Collaboration
; | Date: |
1 Oct 2007 | Abstract: | The ANTARES telescope is being built in the Mediterranean Sea. The detector
consists of a 3D array of photomultipliers (PMTs) that detects the Cherenkov
light induced by the muons produced in neutrino interactions. Other signatures
can also be detected. Since the neutrino fluxes from point-like sources are
expected to be small, it is of the utmost importance to take advantage of the
ANTARES pointing accuracy (angular resolution better than 0.3 degrees for muon
events above 10 TeV) to disentangle a possible signal from the unavoidable
atmospheric neutrino background. In order to distinguish an excess of neutrino
events from the background, several searching algorithms have been developed
within the ANTARES collaboration. In this contribution, the discovery potential
and sensitivity to point-like sources of the ANTARES neutrino telescope are
presented. | Source: | arXiv, 0710.0252 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
