The AMANDA-II detector records neutrino-induced muon events in the ice sheet beneath the geographic South Pole, and has accumulated 3.8 years of livetime from 2000 � 2006.
After reconstructing muon tracks and applying selection criteria, we arrive at a sample of 6595 events originating from the Northern Sky, predominantly atmospheric neutrinos with primary energy 100 GeV to 8 TeV.
We search these events for evidence of astrophysical neutrino point sources using a maximum-likelihood method.
No excess above the atmospheric neutrino background is found, and we set upper limits on neutrino fluxes.
Finally, a well-known potential dark matter signature is emission of high energy neutrinos ...
