Signature of light sterile neutrinos at IceCube

The MiniBooNE collaboration has recently reported evidence for a light sterile neutrino with large mixing angles, thus corroborating the measurement by LSND twenty years ago. Such a state would be directly in conflict with Planck measurement of big bang nucleosynthesis Neff unless there is self-interaction in the sterile sector. Our objective is to investigate if such interactions could result in resonant absorption in the cosmogenic neutrino spectrum and its consequences for the IceCube experiment. We show that it is possible to give independent bounds on sterile neutrino parameter space from IceCube observations with the dips in the spectrum corresponding to the neutrino masses.
