Description
The KM3NeT Collaboration is building and deploying two deep-sea Cherenkov detectors in the Mediterranean Sea. The primary goal of the KM3NeT/ARCA detector is neutrino astronomy in the TeV-PeV range, while the KM3NeT/ORCA detector is optimized for atmospheric neutrino oscillations studies at energies of a few GeV. When completed, KM3NeT/ARCA is expected to provide an unprecedented angular resolution thanks to the innovative multi-PMT design of the optical modules. The analysis of the data collected with the first deployed detection units lead to the selection of a high-purity sample of up-going neutrinos thus demonstrating the potential of the KM3NeT/ARCA detector. As more detection units are being deployed, the KM3NeT/ARCA detector volume is increasing. In this contribution an analysis for the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux and of the Galactic ridge region will be presented, using the data collected with the current KM3NeT/ARCA configuration.
