TL;DR
This paper reviews the Lake Baikal Neutrino Experiment's analysis of upward muons from the Sun to set limits on dark matter particle annihilation, contributing to astrophysical dark matter searches.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive survey of neutrino detection efforts related to the Sun and establishes new upper limits on muon fluxes from WIMP annihilation.
Findings
Derived upper limits on muon fluxes from the Sun.
Analyzed data from 1998-2002 with 1007 live days.
Contributed to dark matter indirect detection efforts.
Abstract
Upward through-going muons in the Lake Baikal Neutrino Experiment arriving from the ecliptic plane have been analyzed using NT200 data samples of the years 1998-2002 (1007 live days). We derive upper limits on muon fluxes from annihilation processes of hypothetical WIMP dark matter particles in the center of the Sun.
