Search for dark matter with the AMANDA detector.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference paper › Research

Abstract

If non-baryonic dark matter exists in the form of neutralinos, it may accumulate in massive celestial bodies, leading to a neutrino flux from the decay products of neutralino pair annihilation. Such fluxes can be detected with high energy neutrino telescopes. We will present current results from searches for neutrino signals of neutralinos accumulated in the Earth and the Sun, using AMANDA data taken in 1997-1999 and 2001 respectively. We also discuss the improvements expected from a combined analysis of several years of newer data and the prospects for the 1 km3 IceCube detector.
