SUMMARY:Status and first results of the ANTARES neutrino telescope\, 
 NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Simona Toscano\, Valencia
DESCRIPTION:With the installation of the last two lines in May 2008\, 
 ANTARES (Astronomy with a Neutrino Telescope and Abyss environmental R
 ESearch) is currently the largest neutrino detector in the Northern He
 misphere. The detector consists of 12 lines\, carrying<br>
\nalmost 90
 0 ten-inch photomultipliers (PMTs)\, placed at a depth of 2500 m in th
 e Mediterranean Sea\, about 40 km o&#64256\;shore Toulon in South Fran
 ce. The PMTs detect the Cerenkov light emitted by muons from neutrino 
 charged current interactions in the surrounding seawater and the rock 
 below. The information provided by the number of photons detected and 
 their arrival times is used to infer the neutrino track direction. Tha
 nks to its exceptional angular resolution\, better than 0.3&#9702\; ab
 ove 10 TeV\, ANTARES<br>
\nis especially suited for the search of astr
 ophysical point-like sources. The &#64257\;rst data collected with the
  5-Line detector\, which covers the period from January to December 20
 07\, have been analyzed to look for a possible neutrino excess from a<
 br>
\nlist of prospective neutrino sources. In this talk\, the current
  status of the ANTARES neutrino telescope\, including the &#64257\;rst
 <br>
\nresults obtained from the analysis of the 5-Line data\, will be
  presented.
