Constraints on the extremely-high energy cosmic neutrino flux with the IceCube 2008-2009 data
We report on a search for extremely-high energy neutrinos with energies greater than 106GeV using the data taken with the IceCube detector at the South Pole. The data was collected between April 2008 and May 2009 with the half-completed IceCube array. The absence of signal candidate events in the sa...
