A search for cosmic neutrino point-like sources using the ANTARES and IceCube neutrino telescopes over the Southern Hemisphere is presented. The ANTARES data was collected between January 2007 and December 2012, whereas the IceCube data ranges
from April 2008 to May 2011. Clusters of muon neutrinos over the diffusely distributed background have been looked for by means of an unbinned maximum...

We present an overview of the third flight of the NASA-sponsored long-duration balloon payload
known as the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA). ANITA-III was launched on December
17, 2014, and terminated January 8, 2015, after about 22 days of successful observations at float.
ANITA's primary goal is the search for ultra-high energy neutrinos, but ANITA is also sensitive...

ANTARES is the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. It has been taking data since 2007. One of the prime objectives is the detection and identification of cosmic neutrino sources in the TeV to PeV energy regime. ANTARES has established excellent pointing resolution for muon neutrinos (0.4 deg). Recently, we achieved good pointing capabilities also for contained cascade events...

Ultra-high energy neutrinos and photons, with energies above 1 EeV and 10 EeV respectively,
can be detected with the Surface Detector array (SD) of the Pierre Auger Observatory.
Downward-going neutrinos of all flavours interacting in the atmosphere at zenith angles larger than 60 degrees,
as well as upward-going tau neutrinos (''Earth-skimming") can be identified through the broad...

The emphasis on point source searches for astrophysical neutrinos has recently been strengthened by the unambiguous detection of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube. So far the limited statistics and angular resolution of the relevant analyses do not resolve more than an isotropic emission of astrophysical neutrinos. We present the results of searches for point source neutrino...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has reported a diffuse flux of TeV-PeV astrophysical neutrinos in three years of data. The observation of tau neutrinos in the astrophysical neutrino signal is of great interest in determining the nature of astrophysical neutrino oscillations. Tau neutrinos become distinguishable from other flavors in IceCube at energies above a few hundred TeV, when the...

The Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) is an ultra-high energy (>100 PeV) cosmic neutrino detector which is in phased construction near the South Pole. ARA searches for radio Cherenkov-like emission from particle cascades induced by neutrino interactions in the ice using radio frequency antennas (~150-800 MHz) deployed at a design depth of 200m in the Antarctic ice. A prototype ARA Testbed station was...

We present the results of three searches for correlations between UHECR events measured by Telescope Array and the Pierre Auger Observatory and high-energy neutrino candidate events from IceCube. Two cross-correlation analyses of UHECRs are done: one with 28 cascades from the IceCube high-energy starting events sample and the other one with 12 high-energy tracks. The angular separation between...
