Abstract:	About 90% of the simulated signal events for this limit have energies between 5 and 300 TeV, while 5% have lower and 5% have higher energy. The main sources of error are again uncertainties in the simulation of the ice properties (�15%) and the detection efficiencies of the Cherenkov photons (�20%). We assume a mean background of 0.96 with a Gaussian distributed relative error of 73%, and an error on the signal detection efficiency of 25%. If Nmodel is larger than l90%, the model is ruled out at 90% CL. Table 2 summarizes the predicted event numbers for different models of hypothetical neutrino sources. m � 1. Electron neutrinos contribute about 50% to the total event rate, tau neutrinos ...
