Abstract
Recent measurements of the energy spectra of Galactic TeV γ-ray sources with the H.E.S.S. instrument have been used to calculate the expected high energy neutrino fluxes from these sources. Based on the results the expected event rates in a next generation neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea, KM3NeT, have been estimated, assuming an instrumented volume of 1 km3. We find that for energies above 1TeV event rates of a few neutrinos per year can be expected from the brightest γ-ray sources. Although these rates are comparable to those of the background from atmospheric neutrinos a detection of individual sources seems possible.
