We interpret recent IceCube results on searches for dark matter accumulated in the sun in terms of the lightest Kaluza-Klein excitation (assumed here to be the Kaluza-Klein photon, B 1 ), obtaining improved limits on the annihilation rate in the Sun, the resulting neutrino flux at the Earth and on the B 1 -proton cross-sections, for B 1 masses in the range 30-3000 GeV. These results improve previous results from IceCube in its 22-string configuration by up to an order of magnitude, depending on mass, but also extend the results to B 1 masses as low as 30 GeV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
