TL;DR: The first sensors of the IceCube neutrino observatory were deployed at the South Pole during the austral summer of 2004-2005 and have been producing data since February 2005.

TL;DR: An upper limit on the flux of energetic neutrinos associated with GRBs that is at least a factor of 3.7 below the predictions is reported, implying either that GRBs are not the only sources of cosmic rays with energies exceeding 1018 electronvolts or that the efficiency of neutrino production is much lower than has been predicted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) are used to detect, digitize and timestamp the signals from optical Cherenkov-radiation photons at the South Pole.

TL;DR: DeepCore as discussed by the authors was designed to lower the IceCube neutrino energy threshold by over an order of magnitude, to energies as low as about 10 GeV. DeepCore is situated primarily 2100 m below the surface of the icecap at the South Pole, at the bottom center of the existing IceCube array, and began taking physics data in May 2010.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the laboratory characterization and calibration of the 10-in. diameter R7081-02 made by Hamamatsu Photonics before deployment of the IceCube neutrino observatory.
