Acoustic Particle Detection with the ANTARES Detector
The (Antares Modules for Acoustic Detection Under the Sea) AMADEUS system within the (Astronomy with a Neutrino Telescope and Abyss environmental RESsearch) ANTARES neutrino telescope is designed to investigate detection techniques for acoustic signals produced by particle cascades. While passing through a liquid a cascade deposits energy and produces a measurable pressure pulse. This can be us...

متن کاملSystematic uncertainties in MonteCarlo simulations of the atmospheric muon flux in the 5-line ANTARES detector
The ANTARES detector was operated in a configuration with 5 lines for a period of 10 months from February until November 2007. The duty cycle was better than 80% during this period and almost 2 · 10 atmospheric muon triggers were collected. This large sample was used to test Monte Carlo simulation programs and to evaluate possible systematic effects due to uncertainties on environmental paramet...
متن کاملZenith distribution and flux of atmospheric muons measured with the 5-line ANTARES detector
The ANTARES high energy neutrino telescope is a three-dimensional array of about 900 photomultipliers distributed over 12 mooring lines installed in the Mediterranean Sea. Between February and November 2007 it acquired data in a 5 -line confi guration. The zenith angular distribution of the atmospheric muon fl ux and the associated depth-intensity relation are measured and compared with previou...
متن کاملSearch for Exotic Physics with the ANTARES Detector
Besides the detection of high energy neutrinos, the ANTARES telescope offers an opportunity to improve sensitivity to exotic cosmological relics. In this article we discuss the sensitivity of the ANTARES detector to relativistic monopoles and slow nuclearites. Dedicated trigger algorithms and search strategies are being developed to search for them. The data filtering, background rejection sele...
