TL;DR: The AMANDA-II detector has accumulated a large sample of atmospheric muon neutrinos in the 100 GeV to 10 TeV energy range, and the zenith angle and energy distribution of these events can be used to search for various phenomenological signatures of quantum gravity in the neutrino sector, such as violation of Lorentz invariance or quantum decoherence.
