“…where σ (E ν ) is the total neutrino interaction cross section, N A the Avogadro number, ρN A the target nucleon density and z(θ) is the path length across the Earth in the direction θ . Figure 20 shows the effective neutrino area for IceCube, ANTARES and for two different configurations of a cubic kilometer detector in the Mediterranean sea, presented in the KM3Net design report [124].…”

“…Its configuration is sketched in figure16(right panel). The KM3NeT project[124], developed by the three aforementioned collaborations, aims at deploying a kilometer-sized telescope in the Mediterranean, probably starting around 2012. Building on the experience of NEMO, NESTOR and ANTARES, the consortium is currently in a preparatory phase that consists of the study and assessment of several possible designs and deployment sites.…”

In the last century, astronomy evolved from optical observation to the multi-wavelength study of celestial objects from radio waves up to x- and γ-rays, leading to a wealth of new discoveries and opening the way to high-energy astroparticle physics. In particular, the recent success of ground-based very-high-energy γ-ray telescopes has opened a new window on the most powerful and violent objects of the Universe, giving a new insight into the physical processes at work in such sources. In the context of high-energy astronomy, neutrinos constitute a unique probe since they escape from their sources, travel undisturbed on virtually cosmological distances and are produced in high-energy hadronic processes. In particular they would allow a direct detection and unambiguous identification of the sites of acceleration of high-energy baryonic cosmic rays, which remain unknown. This report discusses the physics potential of the domain and reviews the experimental techniques relevant for the detection of high-energy (⩾TeV) neutrinos. The results obtained by the first generation of such detectors are presented, along with the perspectives opened by new projects and prototypes being currently developed.
