Evidence for High-Energy Extraterrestrial Neutrinos at the IceCube Detector

M. G. Aartsen, +96 more
- 20 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: The presence of a high-energy neutrino flux containing the most energetic neutrinos ever observed is revealed, including 28 events at energies between 30 and 1200 TeV, although the origin of this flux is unknown and the findings are consistent with expectations for a neutRino population with origins outside the solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos in three years of icecube data

M. G. Aartsen, +302 more
TL;DR: Results from an analysis with a third year of data from the complete IceCube detector are consistent with the previously reported astrophysical flux in the 100 TeV-PeV range at the level of 10(-8) GeV cm-2 s-1 sr-1 per flavor and reject a purely atmospheric explanation for the combined three-year data at 5.7σ.
Journal ArticleDOI

First observation of PeV-energy neutrinos with IceCube

M. G. Aartsen, +287 more
TL;DR: These two neutrino-induced events could be a first indication of an astrophysical neutrinos flux; the moderate significance, however, does not permit a definitive conclusion at this time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Search for dark matter annihilations in the Sun with the 79-string IceCube detector

M. G. Aartsen, +282 more
TL;DR: A search for muon neutrinos from dark matter annihilation in the center of the Sun with the 79-string configuration of the IceCube neutrino telescope is performed, lowering the energy threshold and extending the search to the austral summer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy Reconstruction Methods in the IceCube Neutrino Telescope

M. G. Aartsen, +291 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe methods and performance of reconstructing charged particle energies and topologies from the observed Cherenkov light yield, including techniques to measure the energies of uncontained muon tracks, achieving average uncertainties in electromagnetic-equivalent deposited energy of similar to 15% above 10 TeV.
