A search for high-energy neutrinos interacting within the IceCube detector between 2010 and 2012 provided first evidence a neutrino flux of extraterrestrial origin. Results from an analysis using same methods with third year (2012-2013) data complete are consistent previously reported astrophysical in 100 TeV - PeV range at level $10^{-8}\, \mathrm{GeV}\, \mathrm{cm}^{-2}\, \mathrm{s}^{-1}\, \mathrm{sr}^{-1}$ per flavor reject purely atmospheric explanation combined 3-year $5.7 \sigma$.

We report on the observation of two neutrino-induced events which have an estimated deposited energy in IceCube detector 1.04±0.16 and 1.14±0.17 PeV, respectively, highest neutrino energies observed so far. These are consistent with fully contained particle showers induced by neutral-current ν(e,μ,τ) (ν(e,μ,τ)) or charged-current ν(e) (ν(e)) interactions within detector. The were discovered a search for ultrahigh neutrinos using data corresponding to 615.9 days effective live time. expected...
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer-scale high-energy neutrino detector built into the ice at South Pole. Construction of IceCube, largest to date, was completed in 2011 and enabled discovery astrophysical neutrinos. We describe here design, production, calibration digital optical module (DOM), cable systems, computing hardware, our methodology for drilling deployment. also online triggering data filtering systems that select candidate cosmic ray events analysis.

ABSTRACT The IceCube Collaboration has previously discovered a high-energy astrophysical neutrino flux using events with interaction vertices contained within the instrumented volume of detector. We present complementary measurement charged current muon where vertex can be outside this volume. As consequence large range effective area is significantly larger but field view restricted to Northern Hemisphere. data from 2009 through 2015 have been analyzed likelihood approach based on...
Evidence for an extraterrestrial flux of high-energy neutrinos has now been found in multiple searches with the IceCube detector. The first solid evidence was provided by a search neutrino events deposited energies TeV and interaction vertices inside instrumented volume. Recent analyses suggest that extends to lower is also visible throughgoing, νμ-induced tracks from Northern Hemisphere. Here, we combine results six different astrophysical maximum-likelihood analysis. combined event sample...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has established the existence of a high-energy all-sky neutrino flux astrophysical origin.

We revisit analysis HESE sample additional 4.5 years data, newer glacial ice models, improved systematics treatment. paper describes in detail, reports on latest...
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory was designed primarily to search for high-energy (TeV-PeV) neutrinos produced in distant astrophysical objects. A $\ensuremath{\gtrsim}100\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{TeV}$ interacting inside the instrumented volume has recently provided evidence an isotropic flux of such neutrinos. At lower energies, collects large numbers from weak decays mesons cosmic-ray air showers. Here we present results a neutrino interactions IceCube's between 1 TeV and PeV 641 days data...
Since the recent detection of an astrophysical flux high energy neutrinos, question its origin has not yet fully been answered. Much what is known about this comes from a small event sample neutrino purity, good resolution, but large angular uncertainties. In searches for point-like sources, on other hand, best performance given by using statistics and reconstructions. Track-like muon events produced in interactions satisfy these requirements. We present here results sources with neutrinos...

We report on the first measurement of astrophysical neutrino flux using particle showers (cascades) in IceCube data from 2010-2015. Assuming standard oscillations, neutrinos this dedicated cascade sample are dominated (∼90%) by electron and tau flavors. The flux, observed sensitive energy range 16 TeV to 2.6 PeV, is consistent with a single power-law model as expected Fermi-type acceleration high particles at sources. find spectral index be γ=2.53±0.07 normalization for each flavor...

The origin of high-energy cosmic rays, atomic nuclei that continuously impact Earth's atmosphere, has been a mystery for over century. Due to deflection in interstellar magnetic fields, rays from the Milky Way arrive at Earth random directions. However, near their sources and during propagation, interact with matter produce neutrinos. We search neutrino emission using machine learning techniques applied ten years data IceCube Neutrino Observatory. identify Galactic plane 4.5$σ$ level...
