IceCube is a kilometer-scale deep-ice neutrino telescope, to be constructed at the South Pole beginning in January 2005. The concept and design of IceCube, its science goals, present status, and expected performance will be discussed.

To observe high energy cosmogenic neutrinos above 50 PeV, the large neutrino telescope ARA is being built at the South Pole. The ARA telescope detects neutrinos by observing radio signals by the Askaryan effect. We performed an experiment using 40 MeV electron beams of the Telescope Array Electron Light Source to verify the understanding of the Askaryan emission as well as the detector responses used in the ARA experiment. Clear coherent polarized radio signals were observed with and without an ice target. We found that the observed radio signals are consistent with simulation, showing that our understanding of the radio emissions and the detector responses are within the systematic uncertainties of the ARAcalTA experiment which is at the level of 30%.

AbstractSolving the century-old puzzle of how and where cosmic rays are accelerated mostly drives the design of high-energy neutrino telescopes. It calls, along with a diversity of science goals reaching particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology, for the construction of a kilometer-scale neutrino detector. This led to the IceCube concept to transform a kilometer cube of transparent Antarctic Ice, one mile below the South Pole, into a neutrino telescope.

The IceCube neutrino observatory at the South Pole uses 1 km3 of instrumented ice to detect both astrophysical and atmospheric neutrinos. Expanding the capabilities of the original design, the DeepCore sub-array is a low-energy extension to IceCube which will collect [Formula: see text] atmospheric neutrinos a year. The high statistics sample will allow DeepCore to make neutrino oscillation measurements at higher energies and longer baselines than current experiments. The first successful observation of neutrino induced cascades in a neutrino telescope has recently been observed in DeepCore, which upon further cultivation should help refine atmospheric neutrino flux models. Besides the fundamental neutrino physics, the low-energy reach of DeepCore, down to as low as 10 GeV, and multi-megaton effective volume will enhance indirect searches for WIMP-like dark matter. A new proposal seeking to lower the energy reach down to [Formula: see text] GeV known as the Phased IceCube Next Generation Upgrade (or PINGU) will also be described.

Since the construction of IceCube was completed in 2010/11, the observatory has delivered several outstanding measurements in neutrino physics and multimessenger astronomy. Additionally, a series of new scientific questions and opportunities appeared. To address these, plans have been developed to expand on the IceCube concept, targeting both lower and higher energies, as well as the central PeV-energy window at significantly improved sensitivity. In this contribution I will outline these plans.
