Cosmic neutrinos are promising messengers to help unveil very high energy cosmic accelerators. To date, no extraterrestrial high energy neutrino flux has been observed, but cubic-kilometer telescopes are under construction (IceCube) or being designed (KM3NeT), promising to soon achieve the detection volumes necessary for the discovery of cosmic neutrino signals at energies above hundreds GeV....
