New results from the AMANDA Neutrino telescope

The Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a Čerenkov telescope which uses the south polar ice cap to search for neutrinos from extraterrestrial sources. We present a preliminary reconstruction of the energy spectrum of atmospheric neutrinos above a few TeV and several recent results...

Description
Summary:The Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a Čerenkov telescope which uses the south polar ice cap to search for neutrinos from extraterrestrial sources. We present a preliminary reconstruction of the energy spectrum of atmospheric neutrinos above a few TeV and several recent results on searches for high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, both non-localized and emitted by point-like sources. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.
