| Summary: | The AMANDA neutrino telescope at the South Pole began taking data in 1996. The final stage of the detector was reached in January 2000. Selected results based on the 15 papers contributed by the AMANDA Collaboration to this conference are summarized. These results include a new energy dependent determination of the atmospheric νµ flux, searches for the diffuse flux of extrater-restrial νµ and νe/ντ with energies between 10 11 eV and 6 × 1017 eV as well as searches for νµ emitted from point sources or accompanying gamma-ray bursts. Complementary detectors in the northern hemisphere – taking data (Baikal) or under construction (Antares, Nestor) – are also briefly discussed. 1. |
