The ANTARES neutrino telescope
Juan de Dios Zornoza, Juan Z\'u\~niga

TL;DR
The ANTARES neutrino telescope, installed in 2008 in the sea, uses photomultiplier arrays to detect high-energy neutrinos, contributing to astrophysics by mapping the neutrino sky and searching for dark matter and cosmic sources.
Contribution
This paper reviews the scientific results obtained by the ANTARES neutrino telescope, highlighting its contributions to astrophysics and particle physics since its deployment.
Findings
Mapped the neutrino sky of the Southern hemisphere
Set limits on dark matter self-annihilation flux
Conducted searches for correlations with astrophysical phenomena
Abstract
The ANTARES collaboration completed the installation of the first neutrino detector in the sea in 2008. It consists of a three dimensional array of 885 photomultipliers to gather the Cherenkov photons induced by relativistic muons produced in charged-current interactions of high energy neutrinos close to/in the detector. The scientific scope of neutrino telescopes is very broad: the origin of cosmic rays, the origin of the TeV photons observed in many astrophysical sources or the nature of dark matter. The data collected up to now have allowed us to produce a rich output of physics results, including the map of the neutrino sky of the Southern hemisphere, search for correlations with GRBs, flaring sources, gravitational waves, limits on the flux produced by dark matter self-annihilations, etc. In this paper a review of these results is presented.
