Description |
We analyze published IceCube data based on two different active-sterile mixing schemes using one additional sterile neutrino flavor. We present exclusion regions in the parameter ranges 0.01 ≤ sin^2 θ_{24} ≤ 0.1 and 0.1 eV^2 ≤ ∆m^2 {42} ≤ 10 eV^2 for the mass-mixing and flavor mixing schemes. Under the more conservative mass-mixing scheme, 3σ CL allowed regions for the appearance experiment and MiniBooNE latest result are excluded at more or equal to 3σ CL. In case of less-restrictive flavor-mixing scheme, results from the appearance experiments are excluded at more or equal 2σ CL. We also find that including prompt component of the atmospheric neutrino flux relaxes constraints on sterile mixing for ∆m^2_{42} more or equal 1 eV^2 . |
