Status report of the ANTARES experiment

Abstract

The ANTARES Collaboration is building an underwater neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean sea. The telescope is designed to search for high energy (E >1 TeV) galactic and extra-galactic neutrino sources, but could also be sensitive to neutrinos originating from the decay of neutralino and exotic particles. The detector is a 3-dimensional array of photomultipliers located at a depth of 2500 m, 40 km from the La Seyne sur Mer shore (near Toulon, France). During the year 2005 a full scale test line and an instrumented line have been successfully operated. In the winter '05-'06 the first full 480 m line will be deployed and connected to the shore station.
