The emission of neutrinos within a wide energy range is predicted from very-high-energy phenomena in the Universe. Even the current or next-generation Cherenkov neutrino telescopes might be too small to detect the faint fluxes expected for…
The data acquisition system of the Antares neutrino telescope is based on the unique "all-data-to-shore" concept. In this, all signals from the photo-multiplier tubes are digitised, and all digital data are sent to shore where they are…
We develop a novel technique to exploit the extensive data sets provided by underwater neutrino telescopes to gain information on bioluminescence in the deep sea. The passive nature of the telescopes gives us the unique opportunity to infer…
The acoustic detection method is a promising option for future neutrino telescopes operating in the ultra-high energy regime. It utilises the effect that a cascade evolving from a neutrino interaction generates a sound wave, and is…
Neutrino telescopes offer an alternative way to explore the Universe. Several projects are in operation or under construction. A detector under the ocean is very promising because of the very accurate angular resolution that it provides.…
The ANTARES deep sea neutrino telescope has been taking data continuously since its completion in 2008. With its excellent view of the Galactic plane and good angular resolution the telescope can constrain the origin of the diffuse…
