Neutrino Transformations

Caption

This is a photo of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, overlaid by a plot of the neutrino transformations where the red region in the left hand side shows the signal of the proposed fourth neutrino. However, this signal did not show up in the analysis by IceCube, and hence the existence of this type of sterile neutrino can be excluded.
