Intrinsic source spectrum (corrected for IR absorption) Measured spectrum AMANDA average flux limit for two assumed spectral indices , compared to the average gamma flux of Markarian 501 as observed in 1997 by HEGRA. AMANDA-II has reached the sensitivity needed to search from neutrino fluxes from Te. V gamma sources of similar strength to the instrinsic gamma flux.

„Nothing is guaranteed, but history is on our side. “ Francis Halzen
Moses HAD a guarantee for final success. . . but saw the promised land only from far and never entered it by himself. With nearly 3 orders of magnitude improvement over 10 years we have a good chance for success before OUR retirement !
