Abstract

The KM3NeT/ARCA high energy neutrino telescope is currently under construction in the Mediterranean sea. The detector will consist of two blocks of instrumented structures and will have a size of the order of a cubic-kilometer. In this work the status of the detector, the expected performance to galactic and extragalactic neutrino sources, the results from prototypes and the first deployed lines will be briefly reported.
