Scientific paper

ANTARES is a large volume neutrino telescope installed off La Seyne- sur-mer, France, at 2475m depth. Neutrino telescopes aim at detecting neutrinos as a new probe for a sky study at energies greater than 1 TeV. The detection principle relies on the observation, using photomultipliers, of the Cherenkov light emitted by charged leptons induced by neutrino interactions in the surrounding detector medium. The ANTARES detector is complete since June 2008 with 12 lines, comprising 75 optical detectors each, connected to the shore via a 40 km long undersea cable. The detector is now complete and working. It has already recorded several hundredth of atmospheric neutrino event candidates and is ready for physics analyses.
