SUMMARY:Probing Dark Matter with Neutrinos\, NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/As
 tro/Cosmo) Forum\, Ina Sarcevic\, University of Arizona
DESCRIPTION:Dark Matter particles can be captured in the core of the S
 un or the Earth\, or in the Galactic center\, by interacting with the 
 nuclei in the medium. The capture rate depends on the composition of t
 he medium\, dark matter mass and its local density. If the captured da
 rk matter annihilate or decay into the Standard Model particles\, ther
 e is a possibility of producing neutrinos which can be detected via mu
 on tracks or showers. I will present theoretical predictions for the i
 ndirect detection of the dark matter particles via neutrino signals du
 e to their annihilations in the core of the Sun/Earth and in the Galac
 tic center. I will discuss how measurements of muons and/or showers by
  IceCube and KM3NeT may be able to distinguish between different dark 
 matter models\, such as gravitino\, Kaluza-Klein particle or leptophil
 ic dark matter.
