Neutrinos from Galactic Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Sources — •Christian Stegmann1 and Jim Hinton2 — 1Humboldt Universität Berlin, Newtonstr. 15, 12489 Berlin — 2Max Planck Insitut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg
The number of Galactic very high energy gamma-ray sources has dramatically increased in the last year due to the discoveries made by the H.E.S.S. experiment. Most of the sources are potential accelerators of hadronic cosmic rays. Compelling evidence for the acceleration of hadrons would be the detection of high energy neutrinos from the gamma ray sources. We present the expected signal and background rates in a northern hemisphere neutrino telescope and discuss the discovery potential of the neutrino telescope ANTARES currently under construction in the Mediterranean sea.
