Abstract: (APS)

We present a search for an unstable sterile neutrino by looking for a resonant signal in eight years of atmospheric

ν_{μ}

data collected from 2011 to 2019 at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Both the (stable) three-neutrino and the

3 + 1

sterile neutrino models are disfavored relative to the unstable sterile neutrino model, though with

p

values of 2.8% and 0.81%, respectively, we do not observe evidence for

3 + 1

neutrinos with neutrino decay. The best-fit parameters for the sterile neutrino with decay model from this study are

Δ m_{41}^{2} = 6. 7_{- 2.5}^{+ 3.9} {eV}^{2}

,

\sin^{2} 2 θ_{24} = 0.3 3_{- 0.17}^{+ 0.20}

, and

g^{2} = 2.5 π \pm 1.5 π

, where

g

is the decay-mediating coupling. The preferred regions of the

3 + 1 + decay

model from short-baseline oscillation searches are excluded at 90% C.L.
