Detection potential to point-like neutrino sources with the NEMO-km3 telescope

Abstract

The NEMO Collaboration is conducting an R&D activity towards the construction of a Mediterranean km3 neutrino telescope. In this work, we present the results of Monte Carlo simulation studies on the capability of the proposed NEMO telescope to detect and identify point-like sources of high energy muon neutrinos.Comment: To be published on BCN06 proceedings (Barcelona, July 4-7, 2006
