Contribution
It presents a performance assessment of neutrino detection at three Mediterranean sites, highlighting the telescope's capability to measure neutrino flux and cross sections.
Findings
Effective detection of ultra-high-energy neutrinos demonstrated
Lepton energy spectra can distinguish neutrino flux models
Potential to measure neutrino-nucleon cross section
Abstract
A study of the ultra high energy neutrino detection performances of a km^3 Neutrino Telescope sitting at the three proposed sites for "ANTARES", "NEMO" and "NESTOR" in the Mediterranean sea is here performed. The detected charged leptons energy spectra, entangled with their arrival directions, provide an unique tool to both determine the neutrino flux and the neutrino-nucleon cross section.
