  abstract     = {{We present a search for an unstable sterile neutrino by looking for a resonant signal in eight years of atmospheric mu(mu) data collected from 2011 to 2019 at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Both the (stable) three-neutrino and the 3 + 1 sterile neutrino models are disfavored relative to the unstable sterile neutrino model, though with p values of 2.8% and 0.81%, respectively, we do not observe evidence for 3 + 1 neutrinos with neutrino decay. The best-fit parameters for the sterile neutrino with decay model from this study are Delta m(2) (41) = 6.7(-2.5)(+3.9) eV(2), sin(2)2 theta(24) = 0.33(-0.17)(+0.20), and g(2)=2.5 pi +/- 1.5 pi, where g is the decaymediating coupling. The preferred regions of the 3 thorn 1 thorn decay model from short-baseline oscillation searches are excluded at 90% C.L.}},
