Description
KM3NeT/ARCA is a Cherenkov neutrino telescope currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea, at 100 km off the Sicilian coast, near Capo Passero, and at about 3500 m depth.
On its final configuration, the detector will consist of a cubic kilometer volume of seawater instrumented with light detectors. Now, 33 detector units have been already deployed and are taking data. In this contribution, we search for neutrinos from a catalogue of 75 Ultra-Luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs), considering the latest experiment data. We not only perform a single source search along the catalogue but also conduct a binned likelihood stacking search. We present our unblinded results compared with the latest theoretical predictions from these sources discussing their role as potential neutrino emitters. We also exploit these results to quantitatively constrain the
entire source population contribution to the diffuse neutrino flux measured by the IceCube collaboration.
