AB  - The IceCube neutrino telescope, under construction at the South Pole, currently consists of 22 IceCube strings and 19 AMANDA strings.  Combining the two arrays leads to a large instrumented volume with AMANDA as a dense core, an ideal situation for indirect detection of WIMP dark matter annihilations in the Sun. From simulations we calculate the current detector’s sensitivity for solar WIMP neutrinos and find that it improves considerably compared to AMANDA-II. The improvement is due to a combination of reduced trigger thresholds and larger detector volume which permits the use of veto against muonic background.
