摘要:

对来自天体物理源的高能中微子的观测将大大提高我们对这些源的非热过程的认识和理解,特别是将精确定位宇宙射线的加速器。不同的设计方案的灵敏度为未来的100公里规模的中微子望远镜在地中海的一般点源,特别是一些银河系的对象,TeV伽马发射最近已被观察到的H.E.S.S.大气切伦科夫望远镜通过仿真,充分考虑了大气背景对源检测概率的影响。估计的事件率进行比较,以前的结果和限制,从目前的中微子望远镜。

英文摘要:

The observation of high-energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources would substantially improve our knowledge and understanding of the non-thermal processes in these sources, and would in particular pinpoint the accelerators of cosmic rays. The sensitivity of different design options for a future cubic-kilometre scale neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea is investigated for generic point sources and in particular for some of the galactic objects from which TeV gamma emmission has recently been observed by the H.E.S.S. atmospheric Cherenkov telescope. The effect of atmospheric background on the source detection probabilities has been taken into account through full simulation. The estimated event rates are compared to previous results and limits from present neutrino telescopes.
