| Summary: | In this paper we describe the performance of the 9 instrumented IceCube strings and 16 surface IceTop stations taking data at the Geographical South Pole after 2 deployment seasons. We will focus on the description of the array and on the construction and data analysis status. The expected full array performance is discussed and compared to other results for the relevant physics studies using high energy neutrinos for astrophysical neutrino searches. : 8 pages, 6 figures, Proc. of Vulcano 2006, in Frontier Objects in Astrophysics and Particle Physics, F.
