IceCube, the world’s largest high-energy neutrino observatory, built at the South Pole,
recently reported evidence of an astrophysical neutrino flux extending to PeV energies
in the Southern Hemisphere. This observation raises the question of how the
sensitivity in this energy range could be further increased. In the downgoing sector, in
IceCube’s case the Southern Hemisphere,...

A recent analysis of the Fermi data provides evidence of the emission of high energy
gamma rays (up to 100 GeV) with a high-intensity E-2 spectrum. This emission was
detected as originating from two large areas around the Galactic center, spanning
50° above and below the Galactic center and 40° in longitude, with no evidence of
spacial variation both in the spectrum shape and in the...

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...

In this study we investigate the capability of a Very Large Volume
Neutrino Telescope to discover extended Galactic sources. We focus to the
brightest HESS gamma rays sources which are considered also as very high energy
neutrino emitters. We use the un-binned method taking into account both the
spatial and the energy distribution of high energy neutrinos and we investigate
parts of...
