Search for High Energy Cosmic Muon Neutrinos from Variable Gamma-Ray Sources and Time Calibration of the Optical Modules of the ANTARES Telescope


Ph.D. Thesis done by Agustín Sánchez Losa and supervised by Dr. Juan José Hernández Rey and Dr. Damien Dornic


My PhD investigation was based on the search of cosmic neutrino sources within a multi-messenger approach where the data from ANTARES was analysed in coincidence with the X-ray, gamma-ray and high energy gamma-ray emission of the candidate transient sources for study. The latter was extracted from the analysis of the data from FERMI, SWIFT, ROSSI and MAXI and publications done by MAGIC, HESS and VERITAS and motivated by the correlation expected between the neutrino and the gamma-ray emission in a hadronic scenario.
