Description
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a gigaton-scale Cherenkov detector located several kilometers beneath the surface of the South Pole, has detected hundreds of thousands of atmospheric neutrinos at energies from a few GeV to 100 TeV. Above 100 GeV, where ordinary oscillation effects become vanishingly small, this data sample offers the opportunity to search for and set constraints on a wide range of beyond-standard-model (BSM) oscillation mechanisms. Such mechanisms include neutral heavy leptons, neutrino decay, neutrino decoherence, and neutrino-nucleus nonstandard interactions (NSI). Here, we present the latest IceCube results and progress of current analyses that search for BSM oscillation signals.
