Query: Effective field theory interpretation of searches for dark matter
  annihilation in the Sun with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory   We present a model-independent interpretation of searches for dark matter
annihilation in the Sun using an effective field theory approach. We identify a
set of effective operators contributing to spin-dependent scattering of dark
matter with protons in the non-relativistic limit and explore simple new
physics models which would give rise to such operators. Using the limits on the
spin-dependent scattering cross-section set by the IceCube collaboration in
their search for dark matter annihilation in the Sun, we derive limits on
effective couplings and corresponding masses of mediating particles. We show
that the effective field theory interpretation of the IceCube searches provides
constraints on dark matter complementary to those from relic density
observations and searches at the LHC. Finally, we discuss the impact of
astrophysical uncertainties on our results.
