Abstract
An initial study of the extremely high energy (EHE) physics capability of the IceCube neutrino observatory is demonstrated by considering a GZK mechanism neutrino production model, which is a guaranteed source for EHE neutrinos. We study EHE event properties in the energy range 105 < E < 1011 GeV observed by IceCube using detailed Monte Carlo simulation. Results of a simulation study show that about 0.7 EHE neutrino events per year is expected with the full IceCube configuration over a 0.03 atmospheric muon background which passed an EHE event criteria.
