Abstract The aim of this project is to study the effects of neutrino flavor oscillations produced by the possible annihilation of dark matter particles in the Sun. The neutrino energy spectrum produced has a monochromatic component for E~m, where m is the mass of the dark matter particle. This component may be observed in future by neutrino telescopes such as IceCube. We want to study the effect of these oscillations in this monochromatic flux and compute the sazonal variation of this flux, studying also the relevant observables for IceCube. | |
