Neutrino astronomy is a very young branch of astroparticle physics.
More generally, at very high energies, astronomy with photons becomes
useless because they are absorbed on the low energy photons
from the cosmic background radiation. This limits the path length of
a 10 TeV photon, for example, to roughly the distance of the nearest
active galaxy. In contrast, neutrinos o er a means to study the universe
at very high energies or large distances. Very high energy gamma-ray
sources are good candidate as neutrino sources if their emissions are
originated from an hadronic-model decay; on the contrary a purely
leptonic processes will not have any neutrino emission.
The main goal of this thesis is the comparison of results in terms of
discovery potential flux from di erent statistical methods applied to
the search of point-like and extended sources with the KM3NeT telescope
which will be build in the Mediterranean Sea with the e orts
of an international collaboration and with the ANTARES telescope
located at a depth of 2475 m in the South of France.
