标题： Studies of Acoustic Neutrino Detection Methods with ANTARES

摘要： 预计从中等能量范围到极高能宇宙现象会发射中微子。即使当前或下一代切伦科夫中微子望远镜可能太小而无法探测到预期的宇宙高能中微子微弱流量（超过EeV尺度）。声学探测方法是在这一最高能量范围内扩大发现潜力的一种有前景的选择。在一个可能的未来深海探测器中，即使是稀疏布置的约每立方千米100个传感器，由100立方千米大小的声学传感器阵列也能检测到中微子相互作用产生的压力波。本文重点介绍了声学传感器的AMADEUS设置，这是ANTARES探测器的一个组成部分。该项目的主要目标是对未来的声学中微子探测器进行可行性研究。然而，通过ANTARES-AMADEUS混合光电声学设置获得的经验也可以转移到未来的非常大的体积光学中微子望远镜上，特别是用于使用声学传感器对探测器结构的位置校准。 显示英文摘要

摘要： The emission of neutrinos within a wide energy range is predicted from very-high-energy phenomena in the Universe. Even the current or next-generation Cherenkov neutrino telescopes might be too small to detect the faint fluxes expected for cosmic neutrinos with energies exceeding the EeV scale. The acoustic detection method is a promising option to enlarge the discovery potential in this highest-energy regime. In a possible future deep-sea detector, the pressure waves produced in a neutrino interaction could be detected by a 100 km\^3-sized array of acoustic sensors, even if it is sparsely instrumented with about 100 sensors/km\^3. This article focuses on the AMADEUS set-up of acoustic sensors, which is an integral part of the ANTARES detector. The main aim of the project is a feasibility study towards a future acoustic neutrino detector. However, the experience gained with the ANTARES-AMADEUS hybrid opto-acoustic set-up can also be transferred to future very large volume optical neutrino telescopes, especially for the position calibration of the detector structures using acoustic sensors.
