1 IceCube & DeepCore Overview and Dark Matter Searches for the IceCube collaboration

2 Content Overview: IceCube DeepCore (DOMs, geometry, deep ice properties, trigger & filter) Dark Matter searches: (current limits and prospects) Halo & Galactic Center Sun Conclusions 2

3 The IceCube neutrino telescope Final Configuration: DOMs / 86 strings - ~O(103) neutrinos/day SPS-filter level - ~1.7x108 muons/day - threshold: 10 GeV - angular resolution: 0.4-1deg (~ 10 TeV) In Ice: 4790 DOMs/ 79 strings 3

4 The IceCube neutrino telescope 4

5 Deep Core 6 additional strings 60 High Quantum Efficiency PMTs (deployed in deep ice) 7m DOM spacing (17m standard), 72m inter-string spacing. focus energies (few GeV~1TeV) 4π detector using IceCube as an active veto. Southern sky sources (GC) and year round observation for the Sun. 5

6 Ice structure from dust-logger IceCube DeepCore 10 HQE DOMs 66 (courtesy of P. Hulth) DeepCore 50 HQE DOM 6

7 High quantum-efficiency PMTs 405 nm The DeepCore DOMs have PMTs with higher quantum efficiency than standard IceCube DOMs. The final gain in situ not yet determined. Noise rate HQE/standard = 1.18 (courtesy of P. Hulth) 7

8 DeepCore Trigger & Filter DeepCore SMT3 Trigger: Applied to the 13 strings associated with the fiducial volume (bottom 50 DOMs of DeepCore strings and bottom 22 DOMs of IceCube strings) MC predicted rates of ~140 Hz (8 Hz exclusive to IceCube SMT8 rate) Trigger implemented in IC79 configuration with observed rate of 170 Hz. (courtesy of J. Koskinen) 8

9 DeepCore Trigger & Filter DeepCore SPS Filter Applied to all DeepCore SMT3 triggers the expected rate from single CORSIKA MC is 22.6 Hz, background reduction of 8*10-3 Signal acceptance for atmospheric muon and electron neutrinos >99.5% and >99% for WIMPs. 9

12 DeepCore scientific goals Low energy electron-neutrinos, tau-neutrino cascades Neutrino oscillations. Observing neutrino sources in the Southern hemisphere. Improve sensitivity for low mass dark matter particles (WIMPS). Overview over DarkMatter searches with IceCube & DeepCore (Earth) (Halo/GC) slides, courtesy of C. Rott & C.

18 IC22-string result Result: no excess in onsource region found, compared with off-source region. Upper Limits: different curves represent dn/de for different annihilation channels; thickness of curves is range due to different halo models 18

19 crucial for GC analysis is effective veto for downgoing muon events and identify starting tracks within IceCube see DeepCore Veto methods (talk by S. Euler) IC22-string result & IC40-string GC Arxiv: See also J.Huelss, DPG Result: no excess in onsource region found, compared with off-source region. Upper Limits: different curves represent dn/de for different annihilation channels; thickness of curves is range due to different halo models 19

20 Neutrinos from Dark Matter (Sun) signature: ν excess over background from Sun direction physics uncertainties involved: - relic density calculations - DM distribution in the halo smaller effect for this method mean density ρ l ocal = 0.3 GeV/c2 cm3 - velocity distribution - WIMP properties (MSSM/UED...) - interaction of WIMPs with matter (capture) planetary effects (high masses) background: Sun composition atm µ ~O(109) events/year (downwards) - self interaction (annihilation) atm ν ~O(103) events/year (all directions) 20

21 Investigated DM candidates arise in extensions of the Standard Model assumed to be stable: relics from the Big Bang mass from few GeV to few TeV candidates: MSSM: lightest super-symmetric particle (LSP) neutralino, χ01 = z11 B + z12 W3 + z13 H01+ z14 H02 simulation of softest and hardest case hard: m(χ01) [35 GeV 5 TeV] (τ + τ / W+W-) soft: m(χ01) [35 GeV 5 TeV] (b b) Universal extra dimensions: Lightest KaluzaKlein particle (LKP), B(1) or γ ( 1) fixed branching ratios: m(γ ( 1 ) [250 GeV 3TeV] R 21
