Plenary - Neutrino Telescopes
The ANTARES detector, located 40 km off the French coast,
is the largest deep-sea neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere.
It consists of an array of 885 photomultipliers detecting the Cherenkov
light induced by charged leptons produced by neutrino interactions in
and around the detector.
The primary goal of ANTARES is to search for astrophysical neutrinos
in the TeV- PeV range....

Plenary - Neutrino Telescopes
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, completed in December
2010, is located at the geographic South Pole and
incorporates a one cubic kilometer neutrino detector buried
in the deep ice and a one square kilometer air shower array,
IceTop, sitting atop the glacial ice. This unique
combination of neutrino and cosmic-ray detectors allows to
investigate a wide variety of physics topics both...
