Description
The ANTARES detector was the first neutrino telescope in seawater, operating successfully from 2006 to 2022 in the Mediterranean Sea. All challenges related to the operation in the deep sea were accurately addressed by the collaboration. Deployment and connection operations have become smoother over time; data taking and constant re-calibration of the detector due to the variable environmental conditions was fully automated.
A wealth of results on the subject of astroparticle physics, particle physics and multimessenger astronomy have been obtained, despite the relative modest size of detector, paving the way to a new generation of larger detectors under the sea.
More than 100 journal papers have been published and this talk summarizes the efforts by the ANTARES collaboration that made the possibility to operate neutrino telescopes in seawater a reality and the results obtained in this endeavor.
