Neutrinos from dark matter annihilation in the Sun
Christopher Savage
Stockholm University
WIMPs, a candidate for dark matter, can be indirectly detected via a
neutrino flux generated by WIMP annihilations in the Sun. In this talk,
I review the process by which WIMPs become captured in stars, annihilate,
and produce neutrinos detectable in experiments such as IceCube. I
examine various issues that affect this process and the interpretation
of experimental results. Finally, I discuss this indirect detection
mechanism in the context of supersymmetric dark matter.
