Resumen:
In this article we study the possibility to bound effects of new interactionsbetween neutrinos and the nucleons of the Earth using a recentlyintroduced angular observable, . This observable, which is to be registeredin km3 neutrino telescopes such as IceCube, is only weakly dependent onthe initial diffuse flux uncertainties. We investigate the capability of theobservable to bound new interactions by fitting a set of values obtained for using the Standard Model cross-section and statistical errors distributedaccording a Poisson distribution for the surviving neutrino flux.
