高能中微子天文学:现状与展望

High Energy Neutrino Astronomy: Status and Perspectives

Christian Spiering

摘要:

2008年是高能中微子望远镜发展的重要一年。南极的IceCube已经部署了计划中的80根弦中的40根,并达到了半立方公里的仪器体积,在地中海的“第一阶段”中微子望远镜ANTARES已经完成,并使用12根弦进行数据采集。未来几年将是打开高能宇宙中微子窗口的关键之年。冰立方目前正在进入一个具有现实发现潜力的地区。IceCube的早期发现(或非发现)将强烈影响北方同等的KM3NeT的设计和估计发现机会。根据理论估计,立方千米望远镜可能只是粗略地发现了一些区域。因此,目前计划中的探测器的灵敏度应该大大超过IceCube。

英文摘要:

The year 2008 has witnessed remarkable steps in developing high energy neutrino telescopes. IceCube at the South Pole has been deployed with 40 of its planned 80 strings and reached half a cubic kilometer instrumented volume, in the Mediterranean Sea the "first-stage" neutrino telescope ANTARES has been completed and takes data with 12 strings. The next years will be key years for opening the neutrino window to the high energy universe. IceCube is presently entering a region with realistic discovery potential. Early discoveries (or non-discoveries) with IceCube will strongly influence the design and the estimated discovery chances of the Northern equivalent KM3NeT. Following theoretical estimates, cubic kilometer telescopes may just scratch the regions of discovery. Therefore detectors presently planned should reach sensitivities substantially beyond those of IceCube.
