On the potential of KM3 Neutrino Telescopes and Cherenkov Telescope Arrays for the detection of extended sources |

Abstract |
The detection of a cosmic neutrino flux by the IceCube telescope triggers the search for the astrophysical accelerators responsible for it. Among them, galactic sources are expected to contribute at some level: thanks to its location in the Northern hemisphere, KM3NeT is optimally suited to constrain such an amount with a clean event sample of upgoing muon tracks. Therefore, it is timely to investigate the discovery potential of KM3NeT to extended sources of very high energy (VHE) neutrinos. The study presented is based on a comparative analysis of the sensitivity of KM3NeT and CTA, the next-generation ground-based observatory designed for deep surveys of the VHE gamma-ray sky. The methods are then applied to two interesting galactic sources: the brightest TeV supernova remnant, RX J1713.7-3946, and the Galactic Center Ridge. |
