Abstract: | Neutrino energy spectra have been calculated based on the recently measured energy spectra of Galactic very high energy γ-ray
sources. Based on these neutrino spectra the expected event rates in the ANTARES neutrino telescope and KM3NeT, a future neutrino
telescope in the Mediterranean Sea with an instrumented volume of one km3, have been calculated. For the brightest γ-ray sources we find event rates of the order of one neutrino per year. Although
the neutrino event rates are comparable to the background from atmospheric neutrinos the detection of individual sources seems
possible. |
