Miguel Ardid (UPV)15/09/2015, 11:00One of the main objectives of the ANTARES neutrino telescope is the search for neutrinos produced in self-annihilation of Dark Matter (DM) particles. The analysis for different sources of DM (Sun, Galactic Center, Earth, …) or DM models (SUSY, Secluded) will be described and the results presented. The specific advantages of neutrino telescopes in general and of ANTARES in particular will be...Go to contribution page

Mr Stefan Coenders (Technische Universität München)15/09/2015, 11:20The IceCube Neutrino Observatory located at the geographic South Pole was designed to study and discover high energy neutrinos coming from both galactic and extragalactic astrophysical sources. Track-like events induced by charged-current muon-neutrino interactions close to the IceCube detector give an angular resolution better than 1° above TeV energies. We present here the results of...Go to contribution page

Sebastian Euler (Uppsala University)15/09/2015, 11:40Due to the overwhelming background of atmospheric muons, traditional IceCube point source searches in the Southern Hemisphere are sensitive only at neutrino energies above 100 TeV. We will report on a new approach, which focuses on events starting inside the instrumented volume of the IceCube detector. By utilizing different veto techniques we are able to significantly reduce the energy...Go to contribution page

Agata Trovato (INFN)15/09/2015, 12:00KM3NeT is a large research infrastructure with a network of deep-sea neutrino telescopes in the abyss of the Mediterranean Sea. Of these, the KM3NeT/ARCA detector, installed in the KM3NeT-It node of the network, is optimised for studying high-energy neutrinos of cosmic origin. Thanks to its geographical location in the Northern hemisphere, KM3NeT/ARCA can observe most of the Galactic Plane,...Go to contribution page

Mr Barrios-Martí Javier (IFIC (CSIC-UV))15/09/2015, 12:20A 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...Go to contribution page

Antoine David Kouchner (Universite de Paris VII (FR)), Bruny Baret (CNRS)15/09/2015, 12:40No transient or steady significant signal having been found so far from individual source, we investigate potential collective effects in the spacial or temporal domains in Antares data samples. On the one hand, we use a two point correlation analysis to look for inhomogeneities in the arrival directions of the high energy muon neutrino candidates detected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope....Go to contribution page

Antonio Marinelli (Institute of Physics, Pisa)15/09/2015, 14:00The IceCube collaboration recently released the results of an updated measurement of the astrophysical neutrino flux based on four years of observation. The origin of this emission is still unknown due to the large uncertainties related to the poor angular resolution of shower-like events. While the present results are consistent with a isotropic flux a recent maximum-likelihood analysis of...Go to contribution page

Luigi Antonio Fusco (University of Bologna)15/09/2015, 14:20The existence of cosmic neutrinos has been reported by the IceCube Collaboration. Though this measurement is consistent with an isotropic neutrino flux, a sub-dominant galactic component coming from extended region such as the Galactic Plane/Ridge cannot be excluded. The ANTARES detector, located in the Mediterranean Sea, is currently the largest and longest operated under-water neutrino...Go to contribution page

Zhan Dzhilkibaev15/09/2015, 14:40Currently the next-generation km3-scale neutrino telescope Baikal-GVD is under construction in Lake Baikal. It will have modular structure and consist of functionally independent sub-arrays – clusters of strings of optical modules. The first cluster of Baikal-GVD christened “Dubna” was deployed and commissioned in April 2015 in Lake Baikal. We discuss the expected performance of the “Dubna”...Go to contribution page

Luigi Antonio Fusco (University of Bologna)15/09/2015, 15:00The KM3NeT Collaboration has started the construction of a research infrastructure hosting a network of underwater neutrino observatories in the Mediterranean Sea. Two telescopes based on the same technology are being built: KM3NeT/ORCA to measure the neutrino mass hierarchy and to study atmospheric neutrino oscillations and KM3NeT/ARCA to detect high-energy cosmic neutrinos both in diffuse...Go to contribution page

Javier Gonzalez (Bartol Research Institute, Univ Delaware)15/09/2015, 15:20Motivated by the discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos with IceCube, we study the prospects for improved measurements of neutrinos of astrophysical origin with a surface detector array combined with IceCube or a next generation neutrino detector at the South Pole. The background in astrophysical neutrino searches is reduced by tagging muons and neutrinos of atmospheric origin...Go to contribution page
