  Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) can be gravitationally captured
by the Sun and trapped in its core. The annihilation of those WIMPs into
Standard Model particles produces a spectrum of neutrinos whose energy
distribution is related to the dark matter mass. In this work, we present the
theoretical framework for relating an observed neutrino flux to the
WIMP-nucleon cross section and summarize a previous solar WIMP search carried
out by IceCube. We then outline an ongoing updated solar WIMP search, focusing
on improvements over the previous search.
