The gist: Neutrino astronomy at high energies is an emerging field but still in a state of infancy.

Abstract

Neutrino astronomy at high energies is an emerging field but still in a state of infancy. It is barely a dozen years ago that a diffuse flux of extraterrestrial neutrinos with energies in the TeV and PeV ranges was detected and even fewer that first individual sources could be identified. A new window to the universe has been opened after four decades of efforts to realize the gigantic instruments that made that breakthrough possible. This review describes the road towards the present, reviews the actual status of the field and sketches future developments.
