Description

Dark matter particles from the galactic halo can be captured by the sun and can then annihilate into Standard Model particles which makes the sun a source of GeV neutrinos. One goal of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (IceCube) is to detect these neutrinos. In this work, we present the constraints on the DM-nucleon interactions which we obtain from 3-year IceCube observations of the Sun.
