“…The set of hits detected within a certain time window is called event. If the hits of one event satisfy spacetime causality, the event is identified as a muon candidate [13,14]. The reconstruction of the tracks is based on the probability density function of the arrival times of photons at the PMTs.…”

“…The ongoing search by IceCube for neutrinos in coincidence with and in the direction of GRB alerts issued by astronomical telescopes has limited the GRB neutrino flux to less that 1% of the diffuse cosmic neutrino flux actually observed by the experiment. 43,44 However, this may not conclusively rule out GRBs as a source of cosmic rays; the events that produce the spectacular photon displays catalogued by astronomers as GRBs may not be the stellar collapses that are sources of high-energy neutrinos.…”

The IceCube experiment discovered PeV-energy neutrinos originating beyond our Galaxy with an energy flux that is comparable to that of TeV-energy gamma rays and EeV-energy cosmic rays. Neutrinos provide the only unobstructed view of the cosmic accelerators that power the highest energy radiation reaching us from the universe. We will review the rationale for building kilometer-scale neutrino detectors that led to the IceCube project, which transformed a cubic kilometer of deep transparent natural Antarctic ice into a neutrino telescope of such a scale. We will summarize the results from the first decade of operations: the status of the observations of cosmic neutrinos and of their first identified source, the supermassive black hole TXS 0506+056. Subsequently, we will introduce the phenomenology associated with cosmic accelerators in some detail. Besides the search for the sources of Galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays, the scientific missions of IceCube and similar instruments under construction in the Mediterranean Sea and Lake Baikal include the observation of Galactic supernova explosions, the search for dark matter, and the study of neutrinos themselves. This review resulted from notes created for summer school lectures and should be accessible to nonexperts. ‡ *

“…A set of selection cuts is applied on the reconstruction parameters [31,32] in order to obtain a sample of well reconstructed neutrino events and reject as much background of atmospheric muons and noise as possible. The atmospheric muon background is heavily reduced by selecting upward-going events (θ zenith > 90 • ).…”

Solar Atmospheric Neutrinos (SAνs) are produced by the interaction of cosmic rays with the solar medium. The detection of SAνs would provide useful information on the composition of primary cosmic rays as well as the solar density. These neutrinos represent an irreducible source of background for indirect searches for dark matter towards the Sun and the measurement of their flux would allow for a better assessment of the uncertainties related to these searches. In this paper we report on the analysis performed, based on an unbinned likelihood maximisation, to search for SAνs with the ANTARES neutrino telescope. After analysing the data collected over 11 years, no evidence for a solar atmospheric neutrino signal has been found. An upper limit at 90% confidence level on the flux of solar atmospheric neutrinos has been obtained, equal to 7×10 −11 [ TeV −1 cm −2 s −1 ] at E ν = 1 TeV for the reference cosmic ray model assumed.
