This Letter presents the result of a 3+1 sterile neutrino search using 10.7 yr of IceCube data. We analyze atmospheric muon neutrinos that traverse the Earth with energies ranging from 0.5 to 100 TeV; incorporating significant improvements in modeling neutrino flux and detector response compared to earlier studies. Notably; for the first time; we categorize data into starting and throughgoing events; distinguishing neutrino interactions with vertices inside or outside the instrumented volume; to improve energy resolution. The best-fit point for a 3+1 model is found to be at sin2(2θ24)=0.16 and Δm412=3.5 eV2; which agrees with previous iterations of this Letter. The result is consistent with the null hypothesis of no sterile neutrinos with a p value of 3.1%. © 2024 authors. Published by the American Physical Society.
