Description
The construction of the IceCube neutrino observatory was completed in December 2010
and the detector is now operating with 86 strings and 5160 optical modules.
The detector has been taking data in different configurations while
construction took place. We present recent results from the searches for dark matter
candidates with IceCube using the Sun and the Galactic Center and Halo as possible
dark matter sources. Prospects for the complete detector are discussed, with
emphasis on the possibilities presented by the dense DeepCore array to lower the
sensitivity to neutrino energies in the 10 GeV region.
