DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Thomas Stuttard (Niels Bohr Institute)\nDissipative 
 interactions between neutrinos and the environment in which they propagate
  lead to quantum decoherence. Such an environment is predicted by quantum 
 gravity models featuring a 'foamy' space-time structure. Environmental dec
 oherence degrades the interference between neutrino states that is respons
 ible for neutrino oscillations\, resulting in exponential damping of oscil
 lation probability with propagation distance. The IceCube detector at the 
 South Pole measures atmospheric neutrinos that have traversed a range of d
 istances\, up to 12\,742 km for neutrinos crossing the Earth’s diameter\
 , making it sensitive to decoherence effects. In this poster\, a phenomeno
 logical model of neutrino environmental decoherence and the resulting sign
 al in IceCube is presented\, and the measurement sensitivity estimated for
  a 6 year data sample.\n\nhttps://indico.particle.mephi.ru/event/22/contri
