Recent results of the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope

TL;DR

The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope's latest results include setting new limits on diffuse neutrino flux, constraining potential sources near the Galactic Centre, and providing competitive bounds on neutrino fluxes from dark matter annihilation.

Contribution

Findings

Set new limits on high-energy diffuse neutrino flux.

Excluded a single point-like source as the origin of IceCube's neutrino cluster.

Provided competitive limits on neutrino flux from dark matter annihilation.

Abstract

The latest results from the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope are reported. Limits on a high energy neutrino diffuse flux have been set using for the first time both muon-track and showering events. The results for point sources obtained by ANTARES are also shown. These are the most stringent limits for the southern sky for neutrino energies below 100 TeV. Constraints on the nature of the cluster of neutrino events near the Galactic Centre observed by IceCube are also reported. In particular, ANTARES data excludes a single point-like neutrino source as the origin of this cluster. Looking for neutrinos coming from the Sun or the centre of the Galaxy, very competitive limits are set by the ANTARES data to the flux of neutrinos produced by self-annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles.
