摘要
Using the ANTARES neutrino telescope, the largest neutrino telescope in the Northern hemisphere, from its first configuration with 5 lines of photodetectors to the actual nominal one corresponding to a total of 12 lines, we have studied our ability to search indirectly an evidence of Dark Matter annihilations in heavy astrophysical objects as the Sun. First limits have been obtained using the data recorded by ANTARES in 2007 and 2008, and compared with neutrino fluxes predicted within a minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with supersymmetry-breaking scalar and gaugino masses constrained to be universal at the GUT scale, the CMSSM, as well as a minimal Universal Extra-Dimensions scenario with one extra compact dimension where all the Standard Model fields propagate into the bulk, the mUED. The current limits over the neutrino/muon fluxes coming from the dark matter self-annihilations, as well as the spin-dependent and spin-independent cross-sections, are presented.
