Amanda from ² fit to tailored Likelihood

AMANDA

From ² fit to tailored Likelihood

Ice properties vs. depth and wavelength

Evolution of read-out strategy

dAOM versus DOM

Lesson: take the best and then collaborate!

• in ice: DOM (Digital Optical Module): LBNL

• at surface: DOR (DOM Receiver Card): DESY

AMANDA

• AMANDA

• = 30 x SuperK, MACRO

• (AMANDA = 1/30 IceCube)

AMANDA 7 years: The results

• 6595 neutrinos up to record energy of 200 TeV

• Record limits on fluxes for cosmic neutrinos (diffuse, point sources, GRB)

• Record limits on indirect dark matter search, magnetic monopoles, tests of Lorentz invariance

• Monitoring the galaxy for supernova bursts

• Spectrum and composition of cosmic rays
