Description
The ANTARES neutrino telescope is currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea off the Toulonnaise coast. Since February 2007 five out of the twelve lines are deployed and taking data. The completion of the detector is expected beginning of 2008. For the search for neutrino point-like sources, the excellent angular resolution of ANTARES, better than 0.3 deg above 10 TeV, is an important advantage compared to other neutrino telescopes.
In order to maximise the sensitivity it is particularly important to develop efficient search algorithms. In this talk I describe the analysis methods developed by the ANTARES collaboration and their capability in terms of sensitivity and discovery potential.
