Description
Identification of high-energy neutrino point sources by IceCube is exciting for particle phenomenology, as propagation of neutrinos over large distances allows us to test properties that are otherwise hard to access. However, many beyond-Standard Model effects would show up as distortions of the energy spectrum, making it difficult to distinguish new physics from uncertainties in the source modeling. In this talk, I will review our recent results using IceCube data to constrain neutrino self-interactions. I will then present recent and ongoing work to determine how well future datasets containing multiple point-source observations could distinguish beyond-Standard Model effects from different Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) source models.
