Structure and basic technical parameters of prototype string for a km3 scale Baikal neutrino telescope are presented. The string data acquisition system on the basis of FADC and electronics of new optical modules are described. Results of photodetector studies for prototype string and possibilities to use photomultipliers of different type for a km3 scale Baikal neutrino telescope are discussed.

A four-floors prototype of the Nemo towers has been successfully deployed off the Sicily coast in December 2006. The detector is working and data acquisition is going on since then. The aim of this contribution is to give an overview of the NEMO electronic system and to explain the different stages of data acquisition and transport. The underwater electronics sample signals from...

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...

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...

The primary aim of the Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA-II) is the search for high-energy neutrinos of extraterrestrial origin. This goal is pursued in different analysis strategies like the search for transient and permanent point sources, for a diffuse signal and for physics beyond the standard model, e.g. the search for WIMPs. In this contribution the different analysis...

IceCube at the South Pole consists of two components - the IceTop air shower array on the surface and the neutrino telescope at depths from 1450 to 2450 meters below. In its final stage the IceTop detector will consist of 80 stations, each containing two ice Cherenkov tanks, covering a surface of one square kilometer while the neutrino telescope encloses a volume of one cubic kilometer with...

Test results performed with a detector prototype designed to detect Ultra High Energy tau neutrino fluxes and cosmic ray at large zenith angles at High Altitude Research Stations Jungfraujoch (HFSJG) are presented.
The scientific motivation for building such a device,the detection principles and technical issues to design and construct it are also discussed.

UHECR interactions with matter and radiation imply a UHE neutrino astronomy to be soon revealed. Flavor mixing provide the rarest Tau neutrino signals well above atmospheric ones. UHE Tau neutrino scattering inside the Earth would lead to Taus whose decay in flight could be spread in large number and wide area upward in space. Novel signals of Tau air-showering must rise beyond the Mountains...
