Abstract

The ANTARES project aims to build a deep-sea Cherenkov Telescope for High Energy Neutrino Astronomy located in the Mediterranean Sea. The experiment, currently in the construction phase, has recently achieved an important milestone : the operation of a prototype line and of a line with monitoring instruments. These deployments allowed a thorough understanding of environmental parameters.
