dc.description.abstract© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Muons are the dominant event signature for neutrino telescopes like IceCube and they are the main background for neutrino searches. Furthermore, they are used to investigate extended air showers. In both cases, the stochasticity of the muon propagation plays a key role in the data extraction step and an accurate understanding, even of the edge cases, is crucial. The main process driving stochastic losses for TeV scale muons is bremsstrahlung. In this paper, a feasibility study is presented to measure the cross section of stochastic losses using neutrino-induced muons. The simulation study is based on the propagation of muons using the Monte-Carlo library PROPOSAL. For different reconstruction methods and resolutions, the energy loss distribution for different muon energies is used to estimate the sensitivity to measure the bremsstrahlung cross section. Two further systematic parameters, the detection efficiency, which scales the amount of detected light, and the spectral index are also estimated to analyze their correlation to the estimated bremsstrahlung normalization. The statistics of the simulated dataset correspond to 10 years of up-going muon neutrino data in IceCube.
