Description
There is currently a lack of experimental measurements supporting model predictions of neutrino-nucleon differential cross section in the energy range between ~300 GeV - 1 TeV. Here we seek to expand this knowledge by measuring the inelasticity of these interactions with IceCube DeepCore. DeepCore is a densely packed sub-array inside the IceCube detector, which allows us to detect and reconstruct neutrinos with tens of GeV with greater precision. IceCube has previously measured inelasticity distribution at 1 TeV- 100 TeV and with this analysis we aim to extend this range to lower energies to fill in the gap with accelerator measurements. We use a low-background sample of fully contained muon-neutrino charged current events to fit the shape of flux-averaged inelasticity distribution. In this contribution we will present the methods and the status of the analysis.
