10 Preliminary All Sky Point Source Search. IC40 10! pre- trial

11 Preliminary All Sky Point Source Search. IC40 Northern hemisphere Background: atmospheric neutrinos upgoing events 11! Southern hemisphere Background: atmospheric muons Reduced by 10-5 using energy cut downgoing (high energy) muon events pre- trial Livetime = days

12 Preliminary All Sky Point Source Search. IC40 12! Hottest location in the all-sky search is: Ra=113.75, Dec=15.15 All- sky p- value = 18% not significant, no evidence for neutrino source pre- trial

14 Cosmic Ray Anisotropy Preliminary

15 Neutrinos from GRBs Preliminary IceCube in coincidence with Fermi/GBM has a 95% of detecuon potenual of Waxman- Bahcall model at 5 σ in one year. Within 5 years, IceCube will extensively sample the allowed parameter space of the Waxman- Bahcall model. 117 Northern hemisphere GRBs, reported mostly by Fermi.
