  19. Atmospheric Neutrinos Spectrum measured up to >100 TeV AMANDA IceCube will provide a few 105 atm neutrinos - rich physics !

  20. Neutrino Oscillations • Use large atmospheric neutrino sample, look for νμdisappearance and appearance of  • DeepCore will help peering into the oscillation region Muon neutrino survival probability Goal for DeepCore: Threshold < 20 GeV oscillations

  21. Exotic Oscillations Muon neutrino survival probability VLI oscillations,δc/c = 10-27 Conventionaloscillations • Use large atmospheric neutrino sample, look for νμdisappearance and appearance of  • Violation of Lorentz invariance • Quantum decoherence (both appear in quantum gravity theories) parameters of interest: VLI:c/c, sin 2, phase  QD: D3 and D8, D6 and D7 Different to standard oscillations (~ 1/E), effects of QG oscillations go ~ E

  23. Indirect Dark Matter Search Sun Earth Detector

  24. Indirect Dark Matter Search • Amanda: • analysis with standard point source sample (2000-2006) • analysis with dedicated sample (2001-2003) • similar sensitivity & limits • to be submitted in June • IceCube-22: • PRL, accepted and arXiv:0902.2460

  25. Indirect Dark Matter Search ….. apply to spin-dependent cross section • Models with strong spin-dependent coupling are the least constrained by direct DM searches. • W.r.t. spin-dependent coupling, Amanda & IceCube are ~100 times more sensitive than direct search experiments (Sun is mostly hydrogen) Effect of DeepCore
