Abstract
In the analysis published in 1, constraints on the number of signal events can be interpreted as constraints on the volumetric neutrino to muon conversion rate.

where
Tliveand
Veffare the livetime and effective volume of the data sample of index
j. These can then be interpretedas constraints on the muon flux
Φμ++μ−, dark matter (DM) annihilation rate in the Sun
Γχχ→SM, as well as the spin- dependent (SD) and spin-independent (SI) scattering cross sections
σSDand
σSIusing
WimpSim[2].
In Table 4 of Ref. [1], the labels and units of columns 7 and 8 suggest that the muon flux
Φμ++μ−(in units km
−2year
−1) is being presented. However for the first 12 rows, corresponding to points in which the DeepCore (DC) dataset was included, the volumetric neutrino to muon conversion rate
Λνν→μ¯ +μ−(in units km
−3year
−1) were erroneously reported instead. The corrected table (Table
1) is presentedhereby. All other columns remain unchanged. All quantities that go into the right hand side of Eq.
1are presented in the table, as well as median sensitivities and 90% C.L. upper limits on the muon flux
Φμ++μ−derived using
WimpSim[2].
The final results and conclusions presented in Ref. [1] in terms of constraints on the SD and SI scattering cross sections
σSDand
σSIas well as the DM annihilation rate in the Sun
Γχχ→SM, remain unchanged.
In Section 4.2 of Ref. [1], the maximum zenith angle of the Sun is erroneously mentioned as 104
◦. The correct maximum zenith angle of the Sun is 114
◦at the South Pole.
