The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been continuously taking data to search for O(0.5−10) s long neutrino bursts since 2007. Even if a Galactic core-collapse supernova is optically obscured or collapses to a black hole instead of exploding, it will be detectable via the O(10) MeV neutrino burst emitted during the collapse. We discuss a search for such events covering the time between April 17, 2008 and December 31, 2019. Considering the average data taking and analysis uptime of 91.7 % after all selection cuts, this is equivalent to 10.735 years of continuous data taking. In order to test the most conservative neutrino production scenario, the selection cuts were optimized for a model based on a 8.8 solar mass progenitor collapsing to an O-Ne-Mg core. Conservative assumptions on the effects of neutrino oscillations in the exploding star were made. The final selection cut was set to ensure that the probability to detect such a supernova within the Milky Way exceeds 99 %. No such neutrino burst was found in the data after performing a blind analysis. Hence, a 90 % C.L. upper limit on the rate of core-collapse supernovae out to distances of ≈ 25 kpc was determined to be 0.23/yr. For the more distant Magellanic Clouds, only high neutrino luminosity supernovae will be detectable by IceCube, unless external information on the burst time is available. We determined a model-independent limit by parameterizing the dependence on the neutrino luminosity and the energy spectrum.

“…The reference values have been computed from refined simulations based on the work done in [13,21], assuming a quasi-thermal emission of electron anti-neutrinos: µ sig,fulldet (E 0 , D L,0 ) = 132.5, D L,0 = 10 kpc, Φ 0 = 8.2 × 10 10 cm −2 , and E 0 = 3 × 10 53 erg.…”

“…In order to remove occasional anomalies such as sparking PMTs, which may result in multiple coincidences happening in a single DOM during 100 ms, a quality score is computed in association with every coincidence level. The quality score, as described in [21], checks the consistency between the number of coincidences and the number of DOMs detecting at least one coincidence. A low score would indicate that one or several DOMs are producing an anomalous number of coincidences, which is not compatible with the expected background or signal.…”

“…Therefore, MeV neutrinos can only be detected as a global increase in the rate of coincidences between PMTs in single DOMs. The current method implemented to detect MeV neutrinos with the KM3NeT detector is optimized for the detection of a Galactic or near-Galactic CCSN, as described in [13,21]. The method assumes a quasi-thermal neutrino distribution and an emission duration of around 500 ms, similar to what is expected for CCSN.…”

The KM3NeT neutrino telescope is currently being deployed at two different sites in the Mediterranean Sea. First searches for astrophysical neutrinos have been performed using data taken with the partial detector configuration already in operation. The paper presents the results of two independent searches for neutrinos from compact binary mergers detected during the third observing run of the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave interferometers. The first search looks for a global increase in the detector counting rates that could be associated with inverse beta decay events generated by MeV-scale electron anti-neutrinos. The second one focuses on upgoing track-like events mainly induced by muon (anti-)neutrinos in the GeV–TeV energy range. Both searches yield no significant excess for the sources in the gravitational wave catalogs. For each source, upper limits on the neutrino flux and on the total energy emitted in neutrinos in the respective energy ranges have been set. Stacking analyses of binary black hole mergers and neutron star-black hole mergers have also been performed to constrain the characteristic neutrino emission from these categories.

The optical data transport system of the KM3NeT neutrino telescope at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea will provide more than 6000 optical modules in the detector arrays with a point-to-point optical connection to the control stations onshore. The ARCA and ORCA detectors of KM3NeT are being installed at a depth of about 3500 m and 2500 m, respectively and their distance to the control stations is about 100 kilometers and 40 kilometers. In particular, the two detectors are optimised for the detection of cosmic neutrinos with energies above about 1 TeV (ARCA) and for the detection of atmospheric neutrinos with energies in the range 1 GeV–1 TeV (ORCA). The expected maximum data rate is 200 Mbps per optical module. The implemented optical data transport system matches the layouts of the networks of electro-optical cables and junction boxes in the deep sea. For efficient use of the fibres in the system the technology of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing is applied. The performance of the optical system in terms of measured bit error rates, optical budget are presented. The next steps in the implementation of the system are also discussed.
