Oscillations of sterile neutrinos from dark matter decay eliminates the IceCube-Fermi tension

Journal Article Anchordoqui, Luis A. ; Barger, Vernon ; Marfatia, Danny ; ... - Physical Review. D.

IceCube has observed a flux of cosmic neutrinos, with a “bump” in the energy range 10 ≲ E/TeV≲100 that creates a 3σ tension with γ-ray data from the Fermi satellite. This has been interpreted as evidence for a population of hidden cosmic-ray accelerators. Here, we propose an alternative explanation of this conundrum on the basis of cold dark matter which decays into sterile neutrinos after oscillations produce the bump in the cosmic neutrino spectrum.

All-flavor constraints on nonstandard neutrino interactions and generalized matter potential with three years of IceCube DeepCore data

Journal Article Abbasi, R. ; Ackermann, M. ; Adams, J. ; ... - Physical Review D

We report constraints on nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) from the observation of atmospheric neutrinos with IceCube, limiting all individual coupling strengths from a single dataset. Furthermore, IceCube is the first experiment to constrain flavor-violating and nonuniversal couplings simultaneously. Hypothetical NSI are generically expected to arise due to the exchange of a new heavy mediator particle. Neutrinos propagating in matter scatter off fermions in the forward direction with negligible momentum transfer. Hence the study of the matter effect on neutrinos propagating in the Earth is sensitive to NSI independently of the energy scale of new physics. We present constraints on NSImore »« less

Strong Constraints on Neutrino Nonstandard Interactions from TeV-Scale $ν_{μ}$ Disappearance at IceCube

Journal Article Abbasi, R. ; Ackermann, M. ; Adams, J. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We report a search for nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) using eight years of TeV-scale atmospheric muon neutrino data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By reconstructing incident energies and zenith angles for atmospheric neutrino events, this analysis presents unified confidence intervals for the NSI parameter ε_μτ. The best-fit value is consistent with no NSI at a p value of 25.2%. With a 90% confidence interval of -0.0041 ≤ ε_μτ ≤ 0.0031 along the real axis and similar strength in the complex plane, this result is the strongest constraint on any NSI parameter from any oscillation channel to date.
