Description
The ANTARES neutrino telescope, located in the deep sea offshore the French Mediterranean coast, aims at the detection of cosmic neutrinos in the TeV/PeV range. It has been continuously taking data since 2007. In this contribution a search for a diffuse cosmic neutrino flux is presented. The focus is laid on a recently finished analysis of showering events induced by all three neutrino flavours from an effective data taking lifetime of 1247 days. Further, earlier searches for a diffuse cosmic neutrino flux with muon neutrino induced track events are summarized. As none of these studies has measured a statistically significant excess of cosmic neutrinos over the atmospheric background, $90\,\%$ confidence upper limits on the flux have been set.
