KM3NeT/ARCA expectations in view of a novel multimessenger study of starburst galaxies

Abstract

Starburst galaxies (SBGs) and more in general star-forming galaxies represent a class of galaxies with a high star formation rate (up to 100Mo˙/year). Despite their low luminosity, they can be considered as guaranteed "factories"of high energy neutrinos, being "reservoirs"of accelerated cosmic rays and hosting a high density target gas in the central region. In this contribution we present a novel multimessenger study of these sources and the possibility of observing their neutrino signals with the KM3NeT/ARCA telescope. The differential sensitivity for different SBG scenarios is reported considering track-like neutrino events in the 100 GeV-100 PeV energy range.
