The technique of acoustic neutrino detection is a promising approach for future large-scale ultra-high-energy neutrino detectors in water. To investigate this technique in the deep sea, the AMADEUS system has been integrated into the ANTARES neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. Installed at a depth of more than 2000m, the 36 acoustic sensors of AMADEUS are based on piezo-ceramics...

Acoustic neutrino detection is a promising approach to extend the energy range of neutrino telescopes to energies beyond 10^{18} eV. Current water-Cherenkov-neutrino-telescopes, like e.g. KM3NeT, include acoustical sensors in addition to the optical ones. While the main purpose of these acoustic sensors is the position calibration of the detection units, they could be used as instruments for...

To survey large volumes of water for acoustic signals from neutrino interactions, optical fiber-based hydrophones could potentially have several advantages over conventional hydrophones based on piezo ceramics. Optical fibers form a natural way to create a distributed sensing system in which several sensors are attached to a single fiber. The detection system in this case will consist of...
