1201.5584 (A. Leisos et al.)

Evaluation of the discovery potential of an underwater Mediterranean neutrino telescope taking into account the estimated directional resolution and energy of the reconstructed tracks    [PDF]

A. Leisos, A. G. Tsirigotis, S. E. Tzamarias, on behalf of the KM3NeT consortium
We report on the development of search methods for point like and extended neutrino sources, utilizing the tracking and energy estimation capabilities of an underwater, Very Large Volume Neutrino Telescope (VLVnT). We demonstrate that the developed techniques offer a significant improvement on the telescope's discovery potential. We also present results on the potential of the Mediterranean KM3NeT to discover galactic, neutrino sources.
