摘要:

ANTARES望远镜有机会探测瞬态中微子源,如伽马射线暴(GRB)、核心坍缩超新星(SNe)、活动星系核(AGN)的耀斑..为了提高这些来源的灵敏度,我们正在开发一种新的检测方法的基础上观察中微子爆发,然后通过光学检测。ANTARES协作正在实施一种具有良好角分辨率的快速在线事件重建。这些特征允许触发光学望远镜网络,以确定中微子(和高能宇宙射线)源的性质。这一后续工作可以通过小型自动望远镜网络进行,并且需要很短的观测时间。对一些特殊事件,如时空重合的中微子偶线或能量很高的单个中微子,进行光学跟踪,不仅可以揭示中微子源的本质,而且可以提高从超新星或伽玛暴中探测中微子的灵敏度。

英文摘要:

The ANTARES telescope has the opportunity to detect transient neutrino sources, such as gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), core-collapse supernovae (SNe), flares of active galactic nuclei (AGNs)... To enhance the sensitivity to these sources, we are developing a new detection method based on the observation of neutrino bursts followed by an optical detection. The ANTARES Collaboration is implementing a fast on-line event reconstruction with a good angular resolution. These characteristics allow to trigger an optical telescope network in order to identify the nature of the neutrinos (and high energy cosmic-rays) sources. This follow-up can be done with a network of small automatic telescopes and required a small observation time. An optical follow-up of special events, such as neutrino doublets in coincidence in time and space or single neutrino having a very high energy, would not only give access to the nature of the sources but also improve the sensitivity for neutrino detection from SNe or GRBs.
