abstract = {We report on the search for neutrino-induced
particle-showers, so-called cascades, in the IceCube-40
detector. The data for this search was collected between
April 2008 and May 2009 when the first 40 IceCube strings
were deployed and operational. Three complementary searches
were performed, each optimized for different energy regimes.
The analysis with the lowest energy threshold (2 TeV)
targeted atmospheric neutrinos. A total of 67 events were
found, consistent with the expectation of 41 atmospheric
muons and 30 atmospheric neutrino events. The two other
analyses targeted a harder, astrophysical neutrino flux. The
analysis with an intermediate threshold of 25 TeV lead to
the observation of 14 cascade-like events, again consistent
with the prediction of 3.0 atmospheric neutrino and 7.7
atmospheric muon events. We hence set an upper limit of $E^2
\Phi_{lim} \leq 7.46\times10^{-8}\,\mathrm{GeV sr^{-1}
s^{-1} cm^{-2}}$ (90\% C.L.) on the diffuse flux from
astrophysical neutrinos of all neutrino flavors, applicable
to the energy range 25 TeV to 5 PeV, assuming an
$E_{\nu}^{-2}$ spectrum and a neutrino flavor ratio of 1:1:1
at the Earth. The third analysis utilized a larger and
optimized sample of atmospheric muon background simulation,
leading to a higher energy threshold of 100 TeV. Three
events were found over a background prediction of 0.04
atmospheric muon events and 0.21 events from the flux of
conventional and prompt atmospheric neutrinos. Including
systematic errors this corresponds to a $2.7\sigma$ excess
with respect to the background-only hypothesis. Our
observation of neutrino event candidates above 100 TeV
complements IceCube's recently observed evidence for
high-energy astrophysical neutrinos.},
