Indirect search for Dark Matter with the ANTARES neutrino telescope

Understand

Relic neutralinos produced after the Big Bang are favoured candidates for Dark Matter.

• They can accumulate at the centre of massive celestial objects like our Sun.
• Their annihilation can result in a high-energy neutrino flux that could be detectable as a localised emission with earth-based neutrino telescopes like ANTARES.
• In this paper a brief overview of the prospects of the indirect search for Dark Matter particles with the ANTARES detector will be given.
