- Abstract
- The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope was completed in May 2008 and is the first operational Neutrino Telescope in the Mediterranean
Sea. The main purpose of the detector is to perform neutrino astronomy and the apparatus also offers facilities for marine
and Earth sciences. This paper describes the design, the construction and the installation of the telescope in the deep sea,
offshore from Toulon in France. An illustration of the detector performance is given.
