Status of IceCube in 2005

IceCube is a kilometer scale neutrino observatory now in construction at the South Pole. The construction started in January 2005 with the deployment of 76 sensors on the first string and four surface detector stations. Nine strings and 32 surface detectors are in operation since February 2006. The...
