The IceCube Neutrino Observatory features both a kilometer-cubed detector between 1.45 and 2.45 km depth and an array of ice-filled tanks, called IceTop, located at the surface. The presence of both detectors at the same location allows for…
Although kilometer-scale neutrino detectors such as IceCube are discovery instruments, their conceptual design is very much anchored to the observational fact that Nature produces protons and photons with energies in excess of 10^{20} eV…
Since the detection of high energy astrophysical neutrinos in IceCube, there has been a search for their sources. Although recent evidence of neutrinos from a flaring blazar could explain some of the neutrino flux, sources for the remainder…
