Description
The KM3NeT collaboration has started the implementation of the first phase of a
cubic-kilometre-scale neutrino telescope in the Northern hemisphere with an
integrated platform for Earth and deep sea sciences. The location in the
Mediterranean Sea will allow for surveying a large part of the sky, including most of
the Galactic Plane and the Galactic Centre, thus complementing the sky coverage of
IceCube at the South Pole. Amongst the potential Galactic neutrino sources,
SuperNova Remnants are particularly promising since their measured gamma-ray
emission extends to several 10 TeV and exhibits indications for hadronic processes.
Assuming a hadronic origin of the gamma-ray emission, the models for neutrino
emission from SuperNova Remnants and also from other source types such as
pulsars are robustly constrained by gamma-ray measurements.
We report expectated KM3NeT sensitivities for neutrino fluxes from RXJ1713.7-3946
and the Vela X.
