Probing new physics scenarios by IceCube atmospheric neutrino data

Abstract: Atmospheric neutrino data collected by IceCube provides the opportunity to probe new physics unprecedentedly, both due to high statistics and the high energy range. In this talk I will discuss the signatures of new physics scenarios in atmospheric neutrino data, including: light sterile neutrinos, non-standard neutrino interactions, violation of equivalence principle and large extra dimension models. I will present the current constraints on these scenarios obtained by analyzing the IC-40 and IC-79 data sets. Also the sensitivity prospect of the IceCube/DeepCore will be discussed.
