Description
The search for astrophysical neutrinos in the TeV-PeV range is among the primary goals of underwater neutrino telescopes like ANTARES and KM3NeT. The first significant evidence of a cosmic diffuse flux of high-energy neutrinos together with the first identification of a neutrino source, TXS 0506+056, reported by the IceCube collaboration, represented a crucial step forward in the field of neutrino astronomy. ANTARES, located in the Northern hemisphere, with an excellent visibility of the Galactic Plane, and with a very good angular resolution, is well suited to set already valuable constraints on the origin of the cosmic IceCube flux. The future KM3NeT telescope, and in particular its high-energy component, KM3NeT-ARCA, currently being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea, will combine a cubic kilometre-sized detector with the same high visibility towards the Galactic Centre as ANTARES. It is expected to detect the neutrino flux reported by IceCube and it will be able to make definite statements about a neutrino flux from several Galactic candidates. Here, the latest results of the ANTARES neutrino telescope are presented, focusing on searches for neutrinos from diffuse fluxes, point-like sources, dark matter together with multi-messenger analyses. Moreover, the expected performances of the future high-energy neutrino detector, KM3NeT-ARCA, are discussed.
