Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have long been held as one of the most promising sources of
ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos. The internal shock model of GRB emission posits
the joint production of UHE cosmic rays (UHECRs, above 10^8 GeV), photons, and
neutrinos, through photohadronic interactions between source photons and
magnetically-confined energetic protons, that occur when...

ANTARES is the largest high-energy neutrino telescope on the Northern Hemisphere.
Its main scientific purpose is the search for astrophysical muon neutrinos that are
detected via their charged-current interaction in Earth and the subsequent
Cherenkov emission of the secondary muon in the water of the Mediterranean Sea.
Among the most promising candidate sources are gamma-ray bursts, as...

The ANTARES collaboration operates a neutrino telescope active in its complete
configuration since 2008. Neutrinos have unique advantages to probe the Universe at
high energies compared to photons or cosmic rays, since they are neutral, stable and
weakly interacting. Among the goals of neutrino telescopes, the search for neutrino
astrophysical sources is one of the most relevant. The...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory located at the geographic southpole was designed
to study and discover high energy neutrinos coming from both, galactic and
extragalactic astrophysical sources. Since its completion in 2010, the detector
consists of 86 strings with 60 digital optical modules, each deployed in a depth of
1450 to 2450m in the antarctic ice, as well as a surface component...

The ANTARES Collaboration is now operating the largest water Cherenkov neutrino
telescope in the world. The apparatus, consisting of 12 detection lines and a
multidisciplinary instrumentation line installed at a depth of about 2500m in the
Mediterranean Sea offshore from France, has been completed in May 2008.
The main scientific goal of ANTARES is the search for high energy neutrinos...
