IceCube bounds on sterile neutrinos above 10 eV
IceCube bounds on sterile neutrinos above 10 eV
We study the capabilities of IceCube to search for sterile neutrinos with masses above 10 eV by analyzing its $$\nu _\mu $$ disappearance atmospheric neutrino sample. We find that IceCube is not only sensitive to the mixing of sterile neutrinos to muon neutrinos, but also to the more elusive mixing …
