Abstract
The
presentation will include three distinct parts. I will focus on the
scientific motivations (I) associated with the observation of high
energy neutrinos in the context of a multi-messenger astronomy. I will
summarize what type of informations neutrinos are expected to bring, in
particular about the origin of high energy cosmic rays. I will also
discuss the production mechanisms proposed of cosmic neutrinos .
The aspects related to detection principles (II) of neutrino telescopes
will be discussed in a second part. I will cover some historical stages
including the first detections of extraterrestrial neutrinos (solar,
SN1987A)
before describing the most recent detectors. I will discuss the
constraints due to various background and the different methods used to
identify a potential signal.
Finally, in a third part, I will present the most significant results
achieved in the domain (III) and end up with the joint searches for
cosmic neutrinos and gravitational waves. |
