Description

Recently the KM3NeT neutrino telescope detected the most-energetic neutrino event ever, dubbed KM3-230213A, at an estimated energy of 220 PeV. Given its near horizontal direction and exceptionally high energy, the most likely explanation is that the muon resulted from interaction of a muon neutrino of cosmic origin. In this talk I will explore an astrophysical source origin, both transients and steady, of this intriguing event.
