Description
IceCube has measured the atmospheric neutrino spectrum at TeV energies with increasing accuracy over the past eight years. At these energies, a matter-induced resonance greatly increases amplitude of the active-to-sterile oscillation probability for mass-squared-differences in the ${\rm eV}^2$ scale. Sterile neutrinos at these mass differences are motivated by the observation of electron neutrino appearance at L/E ~ 1 GeV/km by LSND and MiniBooNE. In this talk, I will present the status of the search for sterile neutrinos in the high-energy range.
