Abstract

IceCube is a neutrino detector sensitive to energies above 10 GeV. IceCube operates by sensing the Cherenkov light from secondary particles produced in neutrino-matter interactions. One gigaton of highly transparent Antarctic ice is instrumented to achieve this goal. Designed to be modular, IceCube has been collecting data since construction began in 2005. Construction was completed in December 2010. The primary goal of IceCube is to observe astrophysical sources of neutrinos. We present here a summary of IceCube's recent results in atmospheric neutrinos, point sources, diffuse fluxes of neutrinos, cosmogenic neutrinos, a lack of correlation between neutrinos and Gamma Ray Bursts and the search for dark matter.
