Abstract
A large fraction of the mass in the Universe can be in the form of dark mat ter, of which a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) is one of the fa vorite candidates. In supersymmetric extensions of the standard model, the lightest neutralino arises naturally as a WIMP and hence as a good dark mat ter candidate. We will here go through how neutralino dark matter can be se arched for with neutrino telescopes focusing on theoretical predictions of the neutrino-induced muon fluxes from neutralino annihilations in the cente r of the Earth and the Sun.
