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

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

An absence of neutrinos associated with cosmic-ray acceleration in γ-ray bursts

Rasha Abbasi, +269 more
- 18 Apr 2012 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The design and performance of IceCube DeepCore

Rasha Abbasi, +268 more
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.
