SUMMARY:DeepCore - Extending the physics reach of the IceCube Neutrino
  Observatory\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Darren Gran
 t\, University of Alberta
DESCRIPTION:IceCube's DeepCore is a compact Cherenkov detector located
  at the bottom-centre of the neutrino observatory. It's purpose is to 
 enhance the sensitivity of IceCube to low neutrino energies (< ~300GeV
 ) and lower the detection threshold of the observatory by an order of 
 magnitude to ~10 GeV.   The improved sensitivity in this low-energy wi
 ndow enhances the ability of the observatory to perform dark matter se
 arches via the products of WIMP annihilations\, and thus probe an exte
 nsive range of the allowable SUSY parameter space for spin-dependent i
 nteractions.   It also opens new possibilities for atmospheric neutrin
 o oscillation measurements\, muon neutrino disappearance and tau neutr
 ino appearance\, in an energy region not well tested by previous exper
 iments.   Finally\, utilizing the IceCube array as an active veto\, De
 epCore enlarges the field of view of the observatory to the full sky w
 hen searching for potential neutrino sources.  In this talk I will dis
 cuss the current status of the detector\, fully deployed as of January
  2010\, and the development of the DeepCore analyses.
