The AMANDA neutrino telescope and the indirect search for dark matter: AMANDA Colaboration

With an effective telescope area of order 10 4 m 2, a threshold of ∼50 GeV and a pointing accuracy of 2.5°, the AMANDA detector represents the first of a new generation of high energy neutrino telescopes, reaching a scale envisaged over 25 years ago. We describe its performance, focussing on the cap...

Zusammenfassung:	With an effective telescope area of order 10 4 m 2, a threshold of ∼50 GeV and a pointing accuracy of 2.5°, the AMANDA detector represents the first of a new generation of high energy neutrino telescopes, reaching a scale envisaged over 25 years ago. We describe its performance, focussing on the capability to detect halo dark matter particles via their annihilation into neutrinos.
