Neutrino Astrophysics Parallel

The observation of ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrinos has become a priority in experimental astroparticle physics. UHE neutrinos can be detected with a variety of techniques. In particular, neutrinos can interact in the atmosphere (downward-going neutrinos) or in the Earth crust (Earth-skimming neutrinos), producing air showers that can be observed with arrays of detectors at the ground. With...

30. Results from the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope

We present the most recent results produced by the ANTARES Collaboration, which operates a 0.1 km3 scale Neutrino Telescope installed at depth in the Mediterranean Sea. The instrument consists in 885 photo-multiplier tubes arranged in a 3d-array of 12 lines and is optimized for up-going neutrino detection, having full coverage of our Galaxy centre. The results include limits from searches for...

KM3NeT is the future multi-km3 size neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The primary aim is the detection of cosmic high-energy neutrinos. Following the completion of the EU funded Design Study and Preparatory Phase Study, and the acquisition of substantial funds, the first phase of KM3NeT was launched early 2013. Its geographical location, angular resolution and size make KM3NeT an...

The Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) is a new >100 gigaton-scale ultra-high energy neutrino detector being built in the deep radio-transparent ice near the South Pole. The first three ARA stations (out of 37 planned) are operational. The primary science goals of the experiment are a discovery measurement of the cosmogenic neutrinos, and an exploration of the neutrino spectrum above current measured...

11. Performance of the ARIANNA Neutrino Telescope

Dr Corey Reed (UC Irvine)

Neutrino Astrophysics Parallel

The ARIANNA experiment currently has four detector stations installed in the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica. These stations make use of low noise, low power and inexpensive radio detection technology to measure the intense radio pulse emitted by neutrino-induced charged particle showers in ice. Each station operates autonomously, drawing power from solar panels, a wind turbine and lithium...

18. Towards a Megaton MeV Neutrino Detector

Neutrino Astrophysics Parallel

The observation of neutrinos from SN1987A has spawned hundreds of publications, underlining the importance that SNe and neutrinos play in cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics. Routine observation of supernova neutrinos would allow to address a multitude of phenomena such as the overall SN rate, the intrinsic mechanism of SNe or the absolute neutrino masses as well as allow to early...
