Descripción
The existence of neutrino masses and tensions between measurements of neutrino mixing parameters indicates there is new physics yet to be discovered. A viable explanation for these discrepancies are non-standard interactions (NSI)— subdominant neutrino-quark interactions not described by the Standard Model (SM). A portion of neutrinos detected by IceCube travel through distances of Earth’s matter near the oscillation length, making IceCube particularly sensitive to flavor-changing, neutral current NSI. Here we report progress on an IceCube NSI search employing a sample of high energy (>100GeV), upgoing muon tracks to constrain NSI that alter muon-tau neutrino oscillations.
