Abstract
The KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino detector is currently under construction at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The main science objective is the detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos and the discovery of their sources. This is achieved by instrumenting a cubic kilometre of seawater with photo-multiplier tubes that detect Cherenkov radiation from neutrino interaction products. In recent years, there have been advancements in the reconstruction algorithms for muon neutrinos, along with the development of techniques for identifying and accurately reconstructing electron and tau neutrinos. This contribution will present the updated prospects for cosmic sources using the track and cascade detection signatures for the full detector.
