A search for Secluded Dark Matter in the Sun with the ANTARES neutrino telescope

Understand

A search for Secluded Dark Matter annihilation in the Sun using 2007-2012 data of the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented.

• Three different cases are considered: a) detection of dimuons that result from the decay of the mediator, or neutrino detection from: b) mediator that decays into a dimuon and, in turn, into neutrinos, and c) mediator that decays directly into neutrinos.
• As no significant excess over background is observed, constraints are derived on the dark matter mass and the lifetime of the mediator.
