TL;DR: In this paper, the conceptual design and sensitivity of the IceCube detector to predicted fluxes of neutrinos, both atmospheric and extra-terrestrial, were presented and a complete simulation of the detector design has been used to study the detector's capability to search for neutrino from sources such as active galaxies, and gamma-ray bursts.
