“…These packages are sent to an on-shore farm of computers for further data processing and filtering. Each detector storey has one local clock that is synchronized to the on-shore master clock [19]. Furthermore, at the computer JHEP07(2017)054 farm a system of triggers is applied on the data (see section 5), selecting signatures which may correspond to the passage of relativistic particles.…”

A search for magnetic monopoles using five years of data recorded with the ANTARES neutrino telescope from January 2008 to December 2012 with a total live time of 1121 days is presented. The analysis is carried out in the range β > 0.6 of magnetic monopole velocities using a strategy based on run-by-run Monte Carlo simulations. No signal above the background expectation from atmospheric muons and atmospheric neutrinos is observed, and upper limits are set on the magnetic monopole flux ranging from 5.7 × 10 −16 to 1.5 × 10 −18 cm −2 · s −1 · sr −1 .

Aims. We search for muon neutrinos in coincidence with gamma-ray bursts with the ANTARES neutrino detector using data from the end of 2007 to 2011. Methods. Expected neutrino fluxes were calculated for each burst individually. The most recent numerical calculations of the spectra using the NeuCosmA code were employed, which include Monte Carlo simulations of the full underlying photohadronic interaction processes. The discovery probability for a selection of 296 gamma-ray bursts in the given period was optimised using an extended maximum-likelihood strategy. Results. No significant excess over background is found in the data, and 90% confidence level upper limits are placed on the total expected flux according to the model.

“…With the observed optical background rate of 70 kHz per PMT at the single photon level this produces a data flow of several Gbit/s to the shore. In the shore station a PC farm performs a data filtering to reduce the data rate by at least a factor of 100 [9]. Several trigger algorithms are applied depending on the requested physics channel and on the observed optical noise.…”

“…This has several reasons. First ν µ are more copiously produced than other flavours (see Equation 8,9) and neutral current interactions have a lower cross section than charged current reactions. Further the effective volume is larger for the muon track signal than for the cascade channel and finally the isolation of a clean upward going event sample is more difficult in the cascade channel, as discussed above.…”

Abstract. IceCube and ANTARES are neutrino detectors sensitive to energies from 20 GeV up to PeV. Both detectors have been completed and take data. Several years of data have been already analysed including periods with the partly assembled detectors. The primary goal of these two neutrino telescopes is the observation of astrophysical sources of neutrinos. Results from searches for such neutrinos with different strategies will be presented as well as measurements of atmospheric neutrinos which are an irreducible background for such searches, but they are an interesting study object by themselves.
