Abstract
The ANTARES neutrino telescope is the largest operating undersea neutrino telescope. It is located in the Northern hemisphere, 40 km far from Toulon, in the Mediterranean Sea. The detector array consists of 12 detector lines holding a total of 885 Optical Modules (OMs) and is located at a depth of about 2500 m. Its main scientific goal is the detection of high energy cosmic neutrinos through measurement of Cherenkov radiation from neutrino-induced charged leptons. Since the completion of the detector in 2008, analysis of the ANTARES data has been continuously improving. Further investigation covers other high energy researches and Earth and sea science studies. The various prospects and current status of the analysis are presented.

It is located 2500 m deep in the Mediterranean Sea offshore the French coast, 40 km far from Toulon. It consists of a 3D lattice of optical sensors distributed along 12 flexible lines anchored on the sea bed and kept tight with buoys. 25 storeys, each carrying a triplet of PMTs, are typically mounted on each line
Summary
ANTARES is the largest undersea neutrino telescope It is located 2500 m deep in the Mediterranean Sea offshore the French coast, 40 km far from Toulon. It consists of a 3D lattice of optical sensors (photomultipliers - PMTs) distributed along 12 flexible lines anchored on the sea bed and kept tight with buoys. A summary of the most recent results on point source searches, neutrino diffuse flux studies and neutrino oscillation analyses is included in the contribution of J. Brunner at this symposium [2]
