Description
The ANTARES telescope is a large water Cerenkov detector. The aim of the experiment is the detection of cosmic muon neutrinos. They are identified by the muons that are produced in charged current interactions. These muons are detected by the measurement of the Cerenkov light which they emit. Sometimes a high momentum muon produces bremsstrahlung showers. For the first time a method to reconstruct these showers in ANTARES is presented and a comparison of real data and the simulation is shown.
