The IceCube detector is already the world’s largest neutrino detector and when
completed in 2011, will be a cubic kilometer in volume. However, even under
optimistic assumptions about neutrino emission, the potential neutrino signal in
IceCube from AGN and GRBs may be small. The atmospheric neutrino background after
cuts will result in 1-2 neutrinos/yr/km3/deg2 above 1 TeV. For a three year

In this contribution we will show our predictions for the intensity and the
angular distribution of the gamma-ray and neutrino emissions above the TeV as
should be originated from the hadronic scattering of cosmic rays (CR) with the
interstellar medium (ISM).
We simulated the spatial distribution of primary nuclei by solving numerically
the diffusion equation considering several models o

Fourth generation neutrino telescopes are now being constructed (IceCube) and
designed (KM3NET). While no neutrino flux of cosmic origin has been discovered so
far, the first weak signals are expected to be discerned in the next few years.
Multi-messenger investigations aim at addressing the problem of extracting these
signals from irreducible backgrounds. One possible application is the searc

Hadronic interactions of cosmic protons and nuclei with the ambient gas lead to the
production of both neutrinos and gamma-rays. Both types of secondary particles can be
used to provide information on sites of cosmic-ray acceleration. As messengers
gamma-rays have a clear advantage in that sensitive detectors can be readily
constructed. However, despite the difficulty of experimental neutrino

Recent results from the AMANDA experiment yield limits on the extraterrestrial
neutrino flux, based on different analysis methods. A limit on the diffuse neutrino flux is
derived at high energies, i.e.~between 1e4.2 GeV and 1e6.4 GeV. The stacking of different
AGN subclasses gives a point source limits for each of the classes. In this
contribution, a method of interpreting stacking point s

The 10 Mton-scale high energy neutrino telescope NT200+
is currently in operation in Lake Baikal.
We review results obtained with the predecessor detector NT200,
and present first results from NT200+.
We discuss the envisaged next generation
Lake Baikal Gigaton Volume (km3) detector,
for which R&D activities in the lake have already started.

The IceCube Neutrino Telescope is currently under construction at the geographic
South Pole and will eventually instrument a volume of one cubic kilometer by 2011. It
currently consists of 22 strings with 60 Digital Optical Modules each. Additionally
the AMANDA detector has been fully integrated into IceCube operation. This includes
hardware synchronisation, combined triggering, common event b
