  The origin of the high-energy astrophysical neutrinos discovered by IceCube
remains largely unknown. Multimessenger studies have indicated that the
majority of these neutrinos come from gamma-ray-dark sources. Choked-jet
supernovae (cjSNe), which are supernovae powered by relativistic jets stalled
in stellar materials, may lead to neutrino emission via photohadronic
interactions while the coproduced gamma rays are absorbed. In this paper, we
perform an unbinned maximum-likelihood analysis to search for correlations
between IceCube's ten-year muon-track events and our SN Ib/c sample, collected
from publicly available catalogs. In addition to the conventional power-law
models, we also consider the impacts of more realistic neutrino emission models
for the first time, and we study the effects of the jet beaming factor in the
analyses. Our results show no significant correlation. Even so, the
conservative upper limits we set to the contribution of cjSNe to the diffuse
astrophysical neutrino flux still allow SNe Ib/c to be the dominant source of
astrophysical neutrinos observed by IceCube. We discuss implications to the
cjSNe scenario from our results and the power of future neutrino and supernova
observations.
