Constraining minimal Dark Matter models with data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory — •Raffaela Busse¹, Sybrand Zeinstra², and Michael Klasen² — ¹Institut für Kernphysik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Münster — ²Institut für Theoretische Physik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Münster

Dark matter is one of the biggest puzzles of modern physics. Since SUSY and other prominent theories remain unconfirmed to this day, alternative models start to shift more into focus, for example so-called minimal dark matter models which extend the Standard Model only by very few new particles. The WIMP dark matter predicted by these models accumulates in the cores of celestial bodies like the Sun, where it annihilates and generates a neutrino flux that might be measurable by means of neutrino telescopes. The IceCube detector with its large instrumented volume and the densely instrumented DeepCore region is well suited to search for neutrinos from the annihilation of dark matter in the GeV to TeV mass range. In this talk, the current status of neutrino flux calculations from minimal models is presented, and an outlook on the analysis of IceCube data is given.
