  abstract = {{A} search for a diffuse flux of astrophysical muon neutrinos, using data collected by the {ANTARES} neutrino telescope is presented. {A} (0.83 x 2 pi) sr sky was monitored for a total of 334 days of equivalent live time. {T}he searched signal corresponds to an excess of events, produced by astrophysical sources, over the expected atmospheric neutrino background. {T}he observed number of events is found compatible with the background expectation. {A}ssuming an {E}-2 flux spectrum, a 90% c.l. upper limit on the diffuse nu(mu) flux of {E}-2 {P}hi(90%) = 5.3 x 10(-8) {G}e{V} cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1) in the energy range 20 {T}e{V}-2.5 {P}e{V} is obtained. {O}ther signal models with different energy spectra are also tested and some rejected.},
