Description
The interaction of cosmic-rays with the solar atmosphere can yield neutrinos as final state
particles. These neutrinos are expected to be mainly produced at the surface of the Sun and to be
absorbed in the inner part.
Solar Atmospheric Neutrinos represent an irreducible source of background to solar dark
matter searches, and its detection would be important in the characterization of the
background.
The deep-sea neutrino telescope ANTARES, located in the Mediterranean Sea, is well suited to
perform this search. In this work, 11 years of ANTARES data have been analysed and the
resulting sensitivities are presented.
