Abstract

The IceCube Observatory presently consists of an array of 22 vertical strings, deployed between 1450 m and 2450 m of depth and containing 1320 digital optical sensors, and 26 IceTop surface stations with 104 sensors. The denser AMANDA-II array is integrated into IceCube in order to extend the sensitivity to lower energies. The Observatory is the world's largest neutrino telescope in operation. Recent results on the measurement of the atmospheric neutrino flux with IceCube are discussed, with an emphasis on the acceptance and sensitivity potential of the growing IceCube neutrino telescope.
