Abstract
ANTARES (Astronomy with a Neutrino Telescope and Abyss environmental RESearch) is the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, operative in the Mediterranean Sea in its complete set-up since 2008. The detection principle is based on the collection of Cherenkov light induced in sea water as a consequence of the passage of ultra-relativistic particles produced in neutrino interactions with matter. The main scientific goals of the experiment are the search for point-like sources of cosmic neutrinos, the measurement of the diffuse flux, the indirect search for dark matter and multi-messenger astronomy. Some of these topics will be presented here and preliminary results will be discussed.
