Descripción
Existing anomalies in experimental results, for neutrino oscillation experiments, may require a fourth, “sterile” neutrino with non-interacting flavor states. Recent sterile neutrino results from the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory, a Cherenkov neutrino experiment using a cubic kilometer of instrumented ice, are presented. Multiple analyses are discussed, including one enabled by a matter-enhanced resonance occurring for a sterile neutrino with eV$^{2}$-scale mass-squared differences. We introduce possible future analyses involving the use of new event topologies as a means of searching for neutrino appearance with non-zero $\theta_{34}$.
