Results from the search for dark matter in the Milky Way with 9 years of data of the ANTARES neutrino telescope

Physics Letters, Section B: Nuclear, Elementary Particle and High-Energy Physics, Volume 769, Year 2017

Using data recorded with the ANTARES telescope from 2007 to 2015, a new search for dark matter annihilation in the Milky Way has been performed. Three halo models and five annihilation channels, WIMP+WIMP→bb¯,W+W−,τ+τ−,μ+μ− and νν¯, with WIMP masses ranging from 50 GeVc2 to 100 TeVc2, were considered. No excess over the expected background was found, and limits on the thermally averaged annihilation cross-section were set.
