Highlights from the ANTARES neutrino telescope

The ANTARES detector was the first deep sea neutrino telescope, located offshore the French southern coast at about 2500 m under the sea level. Despite its (relative) small size, it has given an essential contribution to recent development of neutrino particle physics and astrophysics. ANTARES was operating in its full configuration from May 2008 to February 2022. After the stop of data tacking, the detector was decommissioned between May and June 2022. The large amount of high quality data and its scientific results has proven the reliability of underwater detection technique of high-energy neutrinos and has pushed the development of the new generation of seawater neutrino telescopes. Its detection principle is based on the collection of the Cherenkov photons emitted along the path of relativistic particles emerging from neutrino interactions in the vicinity of the telescope, using a lattice of almost 900 optical modules, each hosting a 10" photomultiplier, distributed along 12 flexible strings. All information on the signal - time, position and charge - are transmitted to the onshore control station where a computer farm processes the data stream using dedicated trigger algorithms. Potentially interesting events are then stored and finally treated with tracking programs that reconstruct the direction of parent neutrinos. Technical details on ANTARES can be found in [1]. In this contribution a short review of some recent results obtained with the ANTARES detector is given.
