Ashra is a project to build an unconventional optical telescope complex that images a very wide field of view (FOV), covering 77% of the sky, yet with the angle resolution of a few arcmin, with the use of image intensifier and CMOS technology. The project primarily aims to observe Cherenkov and fluorescence light from air-shower developments. It can also be used to monitor optical transients...

Spanning several orders of magnitude in both neutrino energy and path length, atmospheric neutrinos are
a versatile probe of both standard and exotic mixing scenarios.
Indeed, recent measurements of $\theta_{13}$ by reactor antineutrino experiments have
opened up the possibility to observe the effect of the earth's matter on neutrino oscillations
and to subsequently determine the neutrino...

Super-Kamiokande (SK), a 50 kton water Cherenkov detector in Japan, observes $^{8}$B solar neutrinos with neutrino-electron elastic scattering. SK searches for distortions of the solar neutrino energy spectrum caused by the edge of the
MSW resonance in the core of the sun. It also searches for a day/night solar neutrino flux asymmetry
induced by the matter in the Earth.
The installation...

The Galactic center hosts several types of high energy sources that are potential transient neutrino emitters. A time dependent analysis based on the ANTARES data is carried out with the aim of detecting high energy neutrinos temporally connected with bursts in the electromagnetic spectrum of objects located close to the Galactic center.
This approach, more sensitive than a time-integrated...

Measurements of the atmospheric neutrino flux have been performed
using Super-Kamiokande, a 22.5 kton fiducial-volume water-Cherenkov
detector located in the Mozumi mine in Japan. Beginning operation in
1996, the detector has the world's highest statistics for observation
of neutrinos originating from cosmic ray interactions in the
atmosphere, which may be compared to the predictions...

ANTARES is currently the largest neutrino telescope operating in the Northern Hemisphere,
aiming at the detection of high-energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources. By design,
neutrino telescopes constantly monitor at least one complete hemisphere of the sky
and are thus well set to detect neutrinos produced in transient astrophysical sources. The
flux of high-energy neutrinos from...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a 1 km$^3$ Cherenkov detector located at the geographic South Pole. It records several tens of thousands of identified atmospheric muon neutrino events per year and has proven to be suitable for the measurement of muon neutrino disappearance due to oscillations. Using similar methods, IceCube allows the search for additional sterile neutrino states with mass...
