On the Cover

The color plot shows upper limits for the northern-hemisphere flux of extraterrestrial neutrinos from one year of data from the AMANDA-II Cherenkov detector, part of the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array. AMANDA-II views the northern hemisphere by using the Earth to filter out background muons produced by cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere.
