We report on the current construction status of the IceCube high energy neutrino observatory and possible future construction plans. With the completion of the fourth construction season in Feb. 2008, the observatory is now instrumenting…

I will discuss the motivations for Neutrino Astronomy and its prospects given the current experimental scenario, which is the main focus of this paper. I will also go through the first results of the IceCube detector deep in the ice and of…

A number of experimental techniques are currently being deployed in an effort to make the first detection of ultra-high energy cosmic neutrinos. To accomplish this goal, techniques using radio and acoustic detectors are being developed,…

With an effective telescope area of order 10^4 m^2, a threshold of ~50 GeV and a pointing accuracy of 2.5 degrees, the AMANDA detector represents the first of a new generation of high energy neutrino telescopes, reaching a scale envisaged…

Initial deployment of optical modules near 1 and 2 kilometer depth indicate that deep polar ice is the most transparent known natural solid. Experience with early data has revealed that a detector, conceived to measure muons tracks, can…

The field of high energy neutrino astrophysics is entering an exciting new phase as two new large-scale observatories prepare to come on line. Both DUMAND (Deep Underwater Muon and Neutrino Detector) and AMANDA (Antarctic Muon and Neutrino…

The ANTARES deep sea neutrino telescope has been taking data continuously since its completion in 2008. With its excellent view of the Galactic plane and good angular resolution the telescope can constrain the origin of the diffuse…

The multipole analysis investigates the arrival directions of registered neutrino events in AMANDA-II by a spherical harmonics expansion. The expansion of the expected atmospheric neutrino distribution returns a characteristic set of…

The Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) began collecting data with ten strings in 1997. Results from the first year of operation are presented. Neutrinos coming through the Earth from the Northern Hemisphere are identified…

This paper describes the search for astronomical sources of high-energy neutrinos using the AMANDA-B10 detector, an array of 302 photomultiplier tubes, used for the detection of Cherenkov light from upward traveling neutrino-induced muons,…

The year 2008 has witnessed remarkable steps in developing high energy neutrino telescopes. IceCube at the South Pole has been deployed with 40 of its planned 80 strings and reached half a cubic kilometer instrumented volume, in the…

We report on searches for neutrino sources at energies above 200 GeV in the Northern sky of the galactic plane, using the data collected by the South Pole neutrino telescopes IceCube and AMANDA. The galactic region considered here includes…

Neutrino telescopes with large detection volumes can demonstrate that the current indications of neutrino oscillation are correct or if a better description can be achieved with non-standard alternatives. Observations of contained muons…

Kilometer-scale neutrino detectors such as IceCube are discovery instruments covering nuclear and particle physics, cosmology and astronomy. Examples of their multidisciplinary missions include the search for the particle nature of dark…

We present recent results from the Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) on searches for high-energy neutrinos of extraterrestrial origin. We have searched for a diffuse flux of neutrinos, neutrino point sources and neutrinos…

Neutrino astronomy has entered an exciting time with the completion of the first km3-scale neutrino telescope at the South Pole (IceCube) and the successful operation of the first under-sea neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean (Antares).…

Some recent results of the ANTARES neutrino telescope are reviewed.

IceCube is a 1 km3 neutrino telescope currently under construction at the South Pole. The detector will consist of 4800 optical sensors deployed at depths between 1450 m and 2450 m in clear Antarctic ice evenly distributed over 80 strings.…

Various aspects of the construction, operation and calibration of the recently completed deep-sea ANTARES neutrino telescope are described. Some first results obtained with a partial five line configuration are presented, including depth…

With the completion of the first cubic-kilometer class neutrino telescopes, IceCube, the race for the discovery of the first cosmic high-energy neutrino sources enters into a new phase. The usage of neutrinos as cosmic messengers has the…
