Abstract

Neutrino astronomy and WIMP searches are challenges for future neutrino telescopes. Current generation detectors, such as MACRO, have demonstrated that larger detectors are needed. They have set upper limits on upward- going muon fluxes which have constrained models on neutrino production at cosmic sources and from WIMP-WIMP annihilation. MACRO results concerning the whole data sample collected since 1989 to December 2000, are at the moment between the most interesting in these fields. Underwater and underice experiments are already demonstrating they have very good prospects to achieve the needed sensitivity.
