Abstract

The ANTARES project aims at the construction of an array of 900 optical modules to form a high-energy neutrino detector with an effective area of about 0.1 km2 (ANTARES Collab., astro-ph/9907432; http://antares.in2p3.fr/). The detector will be built in the Mediterranean Sea, 40 km off the coast near Toulon (France) at a depth of 2400 m. The detector has the following main physics goals: measuring the high-energy neutrino flux in the TeV-PeV range with a good pointing resolution, studying atmospheric neutrino oscillations in the region of the parameter space favored by Super-Kamiokande, and searching for supersymmetric dark matter in a region of model parameters of interest in cosmology and particle physics.
