Scientific paper

The ANTARES project aims at the construction of a neutrino telescope 2500 m below the surface of the Mediterranean sea, close to the southern French coast. The apparatus will consist of a 3D array of photomultiplier tubes, which detects the Cherenkov light emitted by upward going neutrino-induced muons. High-energy neutrinos may be produced in powerful cosmic accelerators, such as, gamma-ray bursters, active galactic nuclei, supernova remnants, and microquasars. We have estimated the event rate in ANTARES of neutrinos coming from these sources, and particularly for a microquasar model, and found that for some of these sources the detection rate can be up to several events per year.
