Antares Sensitivity to Diffuse High Energy Neutrino Fluxes

Abstract

The European collaboration ANTARES aims at operating a large deep-sea neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean sea. The detection of high-energy cosmic neutrino can improve our knowledge on the most powerful astrophysical sources in the Universe and about the origins of cosmic rays. A first Monte-Carlo study for the ANTARES sensitivity to diffuse neutrino fluxes predicted by current models is reported.Comment: 2 pages ElectroWeak Interactions and Unified Theories, 2002 Rencontres de Morion
