“…High-energy neutrino telescopes are suitable detectors to search for NSI-induced deviations since they are expected to increase with the distance travelled through matter and with energy. Limits on NSIs from atmospheric neutrinos have already been reported by the Super-Kamiokande Collaboration [17] or using Super-Kamiokande data [18], and by the IceCube Collaboration [19][20][21] or using IceCube data [22][23][24].…”

Non-standard interactions of neutrinos arising in many theories beyond the Standard Model can significantly alter matter effects in atmospheric neutrino propagation through the Earth. In this paper, a search for deviations from the prediction of the standard 3-flavour atmospheric neutrino oscillations using the data taken by the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. Ten years of atmospheric neutrino data collected from 2007 to 2016, with reconstructed energies in the range from ∼16 GeV to 100 GeV, have been analysed. A log-likelihood ratio test of the dimensionless coefficients εμτ and εττ − εμμ does not provide clear evidence of deviations from standard interactions. For normal neutrino mass ordering, the combined fit of both coefficients yields a value 1.7σ away from the null result. However, the 68% and 95% confidence level intervals for εμτ and εττ − εμμ, respectively, contain the null value. Best fit values, one standard deviation errors and bounds at the 90% confidence level for these coefficients are given for both normal and inverted mass orderings. The constraint on εμτ is among the most stringent to date and it further restrains the strength of possible non-standard interactions in the μ − τ sector.

“…ple, DeepCore has an effective 10 Mton volume recorded over 300, 000 neutrino events in the eight years run. Neutrino telescopes can use large sample sizes to study the ν μ disappearance and ν τ appearance channels to look for new physics through neutrino oscillations [410,[778][779][780][781], and tank detectors use all channels however much smaller sample sizes. Thus, detector tanks designed for accelerator-based neutrino experiments and neutrino telescopes designed for extraterrestrial neutrino detection overlap in this energy region but differences in technologies make them complimentary.…”

Snowmass white paper: beyond the standard model effects on neutrino flavor

et al. 2023

Neutrinos are one of the most promising messengers for signals of new physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). On the theoretical side, their elusive nature, combined with their unknown mass mechanism, seems to indicate that the neutrino sector is indeed opening a window to new physics. On the experimental side, several long-standing anomalies have been reported in the past decades, providing a strong motivation to thoroughly test the standard three-neutrino oscillation paradigm. In this Snowmass21 white paper, we explore the potential of current and future neutrino experiments to explore BSM effects on neutrino flavor during the next decade.

“…In an experimental first, a 3-year DeepCore O(GeV) all-flavour analysis provided sensitivity to all NSI matrix elements simultaneously, lepton flavour universality violating and flavour changing alike, with competitive or leading limits upon each [15]. These efforts are complementary to O(TeV) track analyses from IceCube which have a strong sensitivity to flavourchanging NSI element, 𝜖 𝜇 𝜏 [16]. An 8-year analysis is underway for DeepCore's all-flavour NSI.…”

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory probes a breadth of particle physics through the DeepCore low-energy extension. DeepCore provides access to an abundance of earth-crossing neutrinos over much of the atmospheric cosmic-ray spectrum, from 5-100 GeV. Over such baselines, and having overcome the kinematic threshold for 𝜈 𝜏 charged current interactions, DeepCore provides unique multi-channel sensitivity to atmospheric oscillations (including 𝜈 𝜏 -appearance) with unprecedented statistical power. As a result, oscillations measurements from DeepCore are complementary to and competitive with those of long-baseline beam experiments. Here, recent and upcoming results from the current generation of IceCube oscillations analyses are summarised, including work on an 8+ year dataset which represents a milestone in high-statistics atmospheric mixing measurements.
