Scientific paper

The existence of dark matter can be inferred from a number of observations, among them rotational profiles of galaxies, large scale structures, and WMAP's anisotropy measurement on the cosmic microwave background. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), 'cold' thermal relics of the Big Bang, are leading dark matter candidates. They are expected to be gravitationally trapped by massive bodies, such as the Sun and the Earth, or objects at the Galactic Center, where they could then annihilate and produce neutrinos, which could be detected by neutrino telescopes. We describe searches performed in AMANDA for these events and the prospects for IceCube.
