Dark Matter and Cosmic Phenomena

The ANTARES Collaboration has demonstrated the feasibility of a large neutrino telescope located in the Mediterranean Sea. The project, mainly devoted to neutrino astronomy, indirect search of Dark Matter and the study of atmospheric neutrino oscillations, has accomplished its R&D phase and has moved into the construction stage. The results obtained after a 3-year R&D program, the expected performances of a 0.1 km2 detector and the first prototype results are presented.
