概要:
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole has been completed in December 2010. The primary aim of this observatory is to observe high energy neutrinos from astorphysical origins such as GRBs and AGNs. The telescope is deployed in the glacial ice at 2 km depth from the surface. It consists of approximately 5,500 optical modules and detects Cherenkov light from secondary particles that are derived from a neutrino. I will introduce our telescope and the latest results mainly from the construction phase. I will focus especially on the extremely high energy neutrino (E > 10^17 eV) search. Those neutrinos are inevitably generated from extremely high energy cosmic rays (E > 5x10^19 GeV), therefore, can shed light on the origins that are still not yet revealed completely.
