Measurements using the inelasticity distribution of multi-TeV neutrino interactions in IceCube

Using a sample of contained very high-energy neutrino interactions in IceCube obtained from five years of data, the authors reconstruct their energy and inelasticity, the latter being a measure of a neutrino's energy transferred to hadrons. The inelasticity distribution is found to be consistent with the existent calculations across the energy range from ~ 1 TeV to ~ 100 TeV.
