Open AccessAll-flavour search for neutrinos from dark matter annihilations in the Milky Way with IceCube/DeepCore
We present the first IceCube search for a signal of dark matter annihilations in the Milky Way using all-flavour neutrino-induced particle cascades. The analysis focuses on the DeepCore sub-detector of IceCube...

Open AccessMultipole analysis of IceCube data to search for dark matter accumulated in the Galactic halo
Dark matter which is bound in the Galactic halo might self-annihilate and produce a flux of stable final state particles, e.g. high energy neutrinos. These neutrinos can be detected with IceCube, a cubic-kilom...
