Antares (experiment)

See also: Antarès (homonymy)

Antares (Acronyme of has stronomy with has NR eutrino T elescope and has byss Environmental LMBO earch) is a Télescope with Neutrino in the course of deployment with broad of the Seyne-sur-Mer (France).

The detector

The detector is installed with: 2500 meters of depth off Toulon. It is composed of 900 Photomultiplicateur S divided into 12 lines on a surface of 0,1 km ² and on approximately 450 meters height. The detected neutrinos are in fact the rare ones which interact with the matter in the vicinity of the detector then giving a Muon which will be detected by Effet Tcherenkov. Contrary to the optical telescopes, Antares looks to the bottom (through the Earth). Indeed, the neutrinos are the only known particles able to cross planet. Antares should be able to detect particles whose energy varies 50  GeV with 1  PeV.
