Search for Prompt Neutrino Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts with IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann +300

We present constraints derived from a search of four years of IceCube data for a prompt neutrino flux from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A single low-significance neutrino, compatible w…

Multipole analysis of IceCube data to search for dark matter accumulated in the Galactic halo

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann +299

Dark matter which is bound in the Galactic halo might self-annihilate and produce a flux of stable final state particles, e.g. high energy neutrinos. These neutrinos can be detecte…
