Tau Neutrino Appearance with 8 years of IceCube Neutrino Data
Of all three known flavors of neutrinos, the tau neutrino is undeniably the most difficult to identify experimentally. Because of this, the values of neutrino oscillation parameters related to the third generation of neutrinos remain poorly constrained, especially when unitarity assumptions are aban...
