Abstract
IceCube is a high energy (EzTeV) neutrino telescope currently under construction at the South Pole. The final instrumented volume will be approximately 1 km3 and the complementing surface array (IceTop) will be 1 km2 in area. The main objective of IceCube is the search for extraterrestrial sources of high energy neutrinos. Icecube’s prototype detector (AMANDA) produced data sets starting in 1997. These have been analyzed in the search for high-energy neutrinos from diffuse and point sources. AMANDA has also performed searches for Dark Matter accumulated in the center of the Earth and the Sun and for relativistic magnetic monopoles. This papers reports the implications of the AMANDA searches and reports on the status of IceCube construction.
