Scientific paper

The ANTARES collaboration has started the construction of a submarine neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. This detector will consist of a three-dimensional array of photomultipliers (PMTs), which will detect the Cherenkov light emitted by muons produced by high energy neutrino interactions. The scientific aims of the project include astrophysics, dark matter and neutrino oscillations. The project, which began in 1996, has carried out an intense R&D effort, including important milestones such as the "Demonstrator Line", which has shown the feasibility of the project, and the deployment of the electro-optical cable which links the detector to shore. These successful steps led, in 2003, to the deployment of a prototype line (1/5 of a full line) and of an instrumentation line (equipped with calibration devices), whose analysis of the first data will be presented.
