\item First observation of neutrino in 1956

\item Deep Underwater Muon and Neutrino Detector, Hawaii (1990)

\begin{frame}{ Basics of Neutrino Astronomy}
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Neutrino interacts in atmosphere, ice or water
|
|
\item Charged particle gets into the ice or water and emit Cherenkov photons
|
|
\item Cherenkov photons detected by DOMs in the matter
|
|
\end{itemize}

\begin{itemize}

\item CR interactions:
|

\begin{itemize}
|

\item \begin{equation*} p + \gamma_{bg} \to p + \pi^0 \to p + \gamma + \gamma
|
|
\end{equation*}

Divided into three parts:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item IceTop: detects CR airshower above IceCube
|
|
\item IceCube: the main detector for $E_\nu > 100$ GeV
|
|
\item DeepCore: sensitive for $E_\nu \raise.17ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle\sim$} 10$ GeV due to tight spacing
|

\end{itemize}

\subsection{Event Detection and Background}
|
|
\begin{frame}{Event Detection}
|
|
Event selection and simulation needed to identify particles.\\
|
|
IceTop and outer region of IceCube are veto regions.
