| Document Discussions | ⿿IceCube is a cubic kilometer neutrino telescope under construction at the South Pole. ⿦ The detection of atmospheric neutrinos with 9 string configuration established IceCube as a neutrino telescope. A significant improvement of the sensitivity for both point-like neutrino sources as well as diffuse neutrino fluxes is expected from 2007 date taken with 22 strings [of in-ice Digital Optical Modules]. Analyses of these data are in progress. The IceCube detector continues to grow. We expect that an integrated exposure of 1km^3 year will be reached in 2009 and the first extra-terrestrial signal may be detected. Stay tuned!⿠|
