Dark Matter Searches

The search for dark matter particles with astrophysical methods and observations includes diverse methods and approaches. Here, we consider three approaches: the indirect searches for self-annihilating and decaying dark matter particles at keV to TeV mass, observations sensitive to the self-interaction cross-section of dark matter particles, and finally, searches for rare and ultra-massive particles with the IceCube large volume detector. The sensitivity of the observations and methods is sufficient to probe regions of parameter space relevant for non-baryonic dark matter
