Indirect dark matter searches with icecube

Abstract

IceCube is a cubic kilometer scale neutrino detector buried deep in the Antarctic ice. The detector consists of 5160 optical modules deployed on 86 strings between 1450 m and 2450 m of depth. Of these, 8 strings comprise a densely packed subarray in the deepest, clearest ice called DeepCore, which extends the sensitivity of neutrino searches below 100 GeV. Data taken with partial detector configurations have been used to search for neutrino signals of dark matter annihilations in the Sun, halo, and galactic center.We present the latest results of these searches as well as the projected sensitivity of the full detector.
