RECENT RESULTS FROM ICECUBE
High-energy neutrinos provide a new window onto many processes. Locally, high-rate detec-tion of atmospheric neutrinos allows probes of cosmic ray air shower physics and neutrino oscillations. Neutrinos may also be produced at the acceleration sites of the highest energy cosmic rays and in other ast...
