A variety of new physics models allows for neutrinos to up-scatter into heavier states. If the incident neutrino is energetic enough, the heavy neutrino may travel some distance before decaying. In this work, we consider the atmospheric…
Recent analyses of the diffuse TeV-PeV neutrino flux highlight a tension between different Ice-Cube data samples that strongly suggests a two-component scenario rather than a single steep power-law flux. Such a tension is further…

In the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a signal of astrophysical neutrinos is obscured by backgrounds from atmospheric neutrinos and muons produced in cosmic-ray interactions. IceCube event selections used to isolate the astrophysical…
