Measurement of the atmospheric neutrino flux with AMANDA-II and IceCube

Abstract

The IceCube Observatory presently consists of an array of 22 strings, deployed between 1450 m and 2450 m of depth and containing 1320 digital optical sensors, and 26 IceTop surface stations with 104 sensors. With the integrated AMANDA-II array this is the world's largest neutrino telescope in operation. Recent results on the measurement of the atmospheric neutrino flux with AMANDA-II and the first 9 strings of IceCube and on the search for a diffuse flux of high energy extra-terrestrial neutrinos will be shown. These results will be presented with an emphasis on the acceptance and sensitivity potential of the growing IceCube neutrino telescope.
