18 High-energy neutrino search 37 events (9 track-like, 28 showers) observed in 3 years of IceCube data 4th year yielded 17 events ( ) Mesons including charm quarks in the atmosphere decay immediately to produce neutrinos, known as prompt neutrinos which are not observed yet. ERS, or Enberg et al. Phys. Rev. D 78, (2008) is used as a baseline prompt model Significance are based on the exact neutrino flux model, not including the uncertainty of the model.

37 Impact of velocity distribution Explore the change in capture rate using different velocity distributions obtained from dark matter simulations f(v) in Galactic frame at solar circle Choi, Rott, Itow JCAP 1405 (2014) 049 A comparison of captures rates for different WIMP velocity distributions show that overall changes in the capture rate are smaller than 20% 43
38 Halo Uncertainties on the capture rate C.Rott, T. Tanaka, Y. Itow, JCAP09(2011)029 Effect on Capture Rate ΓC WIMP Mass Assume a Maxwellian velocity distribution of the WIMPs outside the potential well of the Sun with a dispersion of vd Circular velocity of the Sun is assumed to be vsun=220km/s While uncertainties in the dark matter distribution can result in significantly different annihilation rates in the Sun, results tend to be on the conservative side Direct detections have to deal with the same uncertainties, and interpretations of results is by no means simpler Sun irons out fluctuations in the local density or velocity distribution 44
