Detection potential of the KM3NeT detector for high-energy neutrinos from the Fermi bubbles

[EN] A recent analysis of the Fermi Large Area Telescope data provided evidence for a high-intensity emission of high-energy gamma rays with a E- 2 spectrum from two large areas, spanning 50º above and below the Galactic centre (the Fermi bubbles ). A hadronic mechanism was proposed for this gamma-r...
