McDonald who were awarded on October 6th the Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 for "the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have masses". Read the Press Release of the Royal…
ANTARES and IceCube joint search opens a new dimension in Neutrino Astronomy November 10, 2015 - The ANTARES and IceCube neutrino telescopes were built with a common objective: the search for sources of astrophysical neutrinos. Although both collaborations usually present their analysis individually, last Friday the results of the first combined analysis with data from both…
ANTARES constrains the extension of a possible High Energy Neutrino source near the Galactic Centre July 11, 2014 - The results of an updated search for cosmic neutrino sources using six years of data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope has been recently published. The most signal-like accumulation of events is located at equatorial coordinates RA=-46.8° and Dec=-64.9° and…

Global Neutrino Network October 15, 2013 - On 15 October 2013, the spokespersons of the ANTARES, Baikal, IceCube and KM3NeT Collaborations established the Global Neutrino Network (GNN) by signing a memorandum of understanding "for a closer collaboration and a more coherent strategy among the four neutrino telescope…
Bioluminescence reveals deep-water motion in the Mediterranean June 11, 2013 - In 2009 and 2010, the underwater neutrino telescope ANTARES detected an unusual phenomenon: the bioluminescence of deep-sea organisms suddenly increased, revealing an unexpected connection between biological activity—bioluminescence—and the motion of water masses in the deep ocean. Convective motion in the Gulf of Lion provides deep waters with oxygen and nutrients that boost biological activity.
