Neutrino Astronomy with the Icecube Observatory and Implications for Astroparticle Physics

The IceCube Observatory is a km neutrino telescope currently under construction at the geographic South Pole. It will comprise 4800 optical sensors deployed on 80 vertical strings between 1450 and 2450 meters under the ice surface. Currently IceCube is operational and recording data with 40 strings (i.e. 2400 optical sensors). The IceCube Observatory will collect an unprecedented number of high...

Search for a diffuse flux of astrophysical muon neutrinos with the IceCube Detector

The discovery of a cumulative flux of high-energy neutrinos from the sum of all cosmic sources in the Universe is one of the central goals of the IceCube experiment. The experimental signature of isotropically distributed astrophysical sources is an excess of high-energy neutrinos with a characteristic angular distribution over the background of less energetic neutrinos produced when cosmic ray...

The Cosmogenic Neutrino Flux and Its Dependence on the Cosmic Ray Primary Composition

In this paper the composition of the high energy cosmic rays is brought into question, with both protons and nuclei considered as feasible candidates. Through an application of their propagation from source to Earth, the subsequent neutrino flux generated is determined and compared. Finally such fluxes are used to predict the flux of neutrinos expected to be observed by the forthcoming km sized...

Results from Seven Years of AMANDA-II

AMANDA is a first-generation high energy neutrino telescope, which has taken data at the South Pole in its final configuration since 2000. Results from seven years of operation are presented here, including observation of the atmopheric neutrino flux and searches for astrophysical neutrinos from cosmic ray accelerators, gamma ray bursts, and dark matter annihilations. In 2007, AMANDA was incorp...

IceCube Observatory: Neutrinos and the Origin of Cosmic Rays

The completed IceCube Observatory, the first km neutrino telescope, is already providing the most stringent limits on the flux of high energy cosmic neutrinos from point-like and diffuse galactic and extra-galactic sources. The nondetection of extra-terrestrial neutrinos has important consequences on the origin of the cosmic rays. Here the current status of astrophysical neutrino searches, and ...
