4 different approaches (note the overlap of the event samples!)
Through-going muons
Cascades
High-energy starting events (HESE)
Extremely high energy events (EHE)
Tracks from below or around horizon
Events start inside, not in veto region
> 10 PeV events, mostly from horizon or above. Discrimation against atm µ: energy

Summary
Cosmic high-energy discovered Opened new window, but landscape not yet
charted: no point sources identified up to now
Also: remaining uncertainties on spectrum and flavor composition.
Some individual sources in reach!
Excluded GRB, Blazars, …. as sole source of HESE events
Need detectors in the North with different syste- .matics and better angular resolution (KM3NeT, GVD)

Note that we assume roughly uniform production across all GRB. Should a rare subclass of GRB produce a significant neutrino signal, it may still be discoverable by IceCube and with MWL observations!

Multi-wavelength follow-up of a rare multiplet
2/17, 2016: 3 -induced tracks within 100 s, consistent with point source.
Expected once every 13.7 years as random coincidence of BG events. Detection of 0.38 BG events was expected at the time of the alert.
Location of the 3 events with their 50% error circles. + is combined direction, the shaded circle :combined 50% error circle. Solid and dashed circles : results of the standard (solid) and an alternative (dashed) reconstruction.
Follow-up observations by Swift’s X-ray telescope, by ASAS-SN, LCO and MASTER at optical wavelengths, and by VERITAS in the very high energy gamma-ray regime, plus analysis of Fermi LAT and HAWC.
