Search for a diffuse flux of astrophysical muon neutrinos with the IceCube 40-string detector

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a 1  km3 detector currently taking data at the South Pole. One of the main strategies used to look for astrophysical neutrinos with IceCube is the search for a diffuse flux of high-energy neutrinos from unresolved sources. A hard energy spectrum of neutrinos from...
