Measurement of the Anisotropy of Cosmic Ray Arrival Directions with IceCube

The IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi

We report the first observation of an anisotropy in the arrival direction of cosmic rays with energies in the multi TeV region in the Southern sky using data from the IceCube detec…

The Energy Spectrum of Atmospheric Neutrinos between 2 and 200 TeV with the AMANDA-II Detector

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi

The muon and anti-muon neutrino energy spectrum is determined from 2000-2003 AMANDA telescope data using regularised unfolding. This is the first measurement of atmospheric neutrin…

Measurement of sound speed vs. depth in South Pole ice for neutrino astronomy

The IceCube Collaboration

We have measured the speed of both pressure waves and shear waves as a function of depth between 80 and 500 m depth in South Pole ice with better than 1% precision. The measurement…

Search for high-energy muon neutrinos from the "naked-eye" GRB 080319B with the IceCube neutrino telescope

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi

We report on a search with the IceCube detector for high-energy muon neutrinos from GRB 080319B, one of the brightest gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) ever observed. The fireball model pred…
