Review on Neutrino Telescopes
arXiv:0901.2661 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2009.03.074
Abstract
I will discuss the motivations for Neutrino Astronomy and its prospects given the current experimental scenario, which is the main focus of this paper. I will also go through the first results of the IceCube detector deep in the ice and of the ANTARES undersea telescope underlying complementary aspects, common and different challenges. It is an exciting time for this science since the first completed undersea detector is successfully taking data and the first cubic kilometer detector is going to be shortly more than half-way from its completion in Antarctica.
