Abstract

A search for dark matter as WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) using neutrino data collected with the Super-Kamiokande detector in years 1996-2014 has been performed. No excess of ν’s from possible dark matter sources such as Sun, Earth and Galactic Center was found compared to the expected atmospheric ν background. Event samples including both electron and muon ν’s covering a wide range of neutrino energies were used, with sensitivity to WIMP masses down to tens of GeV.
