The KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino detector is currently
under construction at 3500 m depth offshore Capo
Passero, Sicily, in the Mediterranean Sea. The main science
objectives are the detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos
and the discovery of their sources. Simulations were conducted
for the full KM3NeT/ARCA detector, instrumenting
a volume of 1 km3, to estimate the sensitivity and discovery
potential to point-like neutrino sources. This paper covers
the reconstruction of track- and shower-like signatures, as
well as the criteria employed for neutrino event selection.
With an angular resolution below 0.1◦ for tracks and under
2◦ for showers, the sensitivity to point-like neutrino sources
surpasses existing observed limits across the entire sky.
