SUMMARY:First Evidence for  Energetic Cosmic Neutrinos with IceCube\, 
 Physics Department Colloquium\, Albrecht Karle\, University of Wiscons
 in Department of Physics
DESCRIPTION:Neutrino astronomy was proposed in the early 1960s as way 
 to explore high energy phenomena in Universe. After 20 years of experi
 mental efforts towards a large neutrino telescope at the South Pole\, 
 IceCube has come in full operation since May 2011. One of the primary 
 goals of IceCube is the search for an energetic astrophysical neutrino
 s flux. I will discuss searches for high-energy neutrinos (energies > 
 100 TeV) with IceCube\, which have recently produced the first evidenc
 e for a flux of neutrinos beyond expectations from neutrinos generated
  in the EarthaEuroTMs atmosphere. This includes the detection of event
 s with energies above 1000 TeVaEuro"the highest energy neutrinos ever 
 observed. I will discuss our recent findings as well as strategies und
 erway that may help to shed more light on the origin of highest energy
  particles in the Universe.
