Abstract
The ANTARES neutrino telescope operated in the Mediterranean sea from 2006 until its decommissioning
in 2022. During its livetime, neutrino data was collected and analysed in the form of
events. These were recorded by the data acquisition system upon the detection of sets of causally
connected hits on the optical modules (OM). The event hits were then fitted to models describing
neutrino interactions in order to obtain the energy and direction of the interacting neutrinos.
Due to the distance between OMs this procedure was efficient for energies higher than 10 GeV,
leaving the lower energy range inaccessible. Despite these limitations, a novel approach has been
developed to search for periodic patterns in the optical module counting rates. This analysis could
potentially reveal fluxes of low energy neutrinos from periodic sources such as pulsars.
