Abstract
AbstractThe KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino detector is currently under construction at 3500 m depth offshore Capo Passero, Sicily, in the Mediterranean Sea. The main science objectives are the detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos and the discovery of their sources. Simulations were conducted for the full KM3NeT/ARCA detector, instrumenting a volume of 1 km$$^3$$
3
, to estimate the sensitivity and discovery potential to point-like neutrino sources. This paper covers the reconstruction of track- and shower-like signatures, as well as the criteria employed for neutrino event selection. With an angular resolution below 0.1$$^\circ $$
∘
for tracks and under 2$$^\circ $$
∘
for showers, the sensitivity to point-like neutrino sources surpasses existing observed limits across the entire sky.
