Astro-particle Physics and Cosmology
Oral Presentation
The ANTARES experiment has been running in its final configuration since 2008. It is the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern hemisphere. After the discovery of a cosmic neutrino diffuse flux by the IceCube detector, the search for its origin has become a key mission in high-energy astrophysics to which ANTARES can bring a valuable contribution.
The ANTARES sensitivity is large enough...

Neutrino Physics
Oral Presentation
The recent observation of TeV-PeV neutrinos by IceCube has opened a new window to the high-energy Universe. These high-energy astrophysical neutrinos are expected to originate from cosmic-ray interactions with gas and radiation. The origin of the IceCube signal is presently unknown and various Galactic and extragalactic source candidates have been proposed. Multi-messenger studies can help to...

Oral Presentation
High-energy (TeV-PeV) cosmic neutrinos are expected to be produced in extremely energetic astrophysical sources such as gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole has recently detected a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux consistent with an all-flavor assumption. Identification of tau neutrinos among the flux is yet to occur....

Oral Presentation
The Askaryan Radio Arrray (ARA) is a planned and in parts constructed detector for ultra-high energy neutrinos, utilizing radio emission from neutrino induced particle showers. With this detection method, it will be able to employ several gigatons of South-Pole ice as a detector medium needed to efficiently discover neutrinos with energies above 10 PeV. These neutrinos carry particularly...

Oral Presentation
The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) payload has now completed its third flight, and is preparing for a fourth flight later this year. ANITA is sensitive to impulsive radio emission from the Askaryan effect in neutrino-initiated cascades within the Antarctic ice sheet, and to geomagnetically-induced radio pulses from cosmic-ray initiated air showers. We report on results from...
