Description
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory utilizes the Cherenkov radiation emitted by charged secondary particles produced in interactions of neutrinos with ice nucleons to detect neutrino events. Of particular interest to us is the energy spectrum of astrophysical neutrinos from unresolved sources, which we refer to as the diffuse astrophysical flux.
The measurement of the diffuse neutrino spectrum at TeV energies is complicated by the dominant background from muons and neutrinos created in cosmic ray air showers. In this talk, we present an overview of recent measurements of the diffuse neutrino spectrum by IceCube, along with their context in a broader astrophysical sense.
