Description
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has observed tens of gamma-ray sources with significant emission above 100 TeV, which are promising PeV cosmic-ray accelerator (PeVatron) candidates. The High-energy Underwater Neutrino Telescope (HUNT), with the instrumented volume around 30 $\rm km^3$, will play a pivotal role in identifying PeVatrons through neutrino observations exceeding 100 TeV. This report provides updates on the effective area of HUNT and the corresponding discovery potential for neutrino sources. The gSeaGen code, the KM3NeT GENIE-based neutrino event generator, is applied in the calculation of effective area for comparison with the previous analytical approximation. Both the track and cascade events are considered in the estimation of discovery potential.
