Neutrino detectors participate in the indirect search for the fundamental constituents of dark matter (DM) in form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). In WIMP scenarios, candidate DM particles can pair-annihilate into Standard Model products, yielding considerable fluxes of high-energy neutrinos. A detector like ANTARES, located in the Northern Hemisphere, is able to perform a competitive search looking towards the Galactic Centre, where a high density of dark matter is thought to accumulate. Both this directional information and the spectral features of annihilating DM pairs are entered into an unbinned likelihood method to scan the data set in search for DM-like signals in ANTARES data. Results obtained upon unblinding 11 years of data are presented. A non-observation of dark matter is converted into limits on the velocity-averaged cross section for WIMP pair annihilation.

  1. The potential of diffuse Galactic Ridge neutrino measurements to constrain dark matter

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    ANTARES Galactic Ridge upper limits yield competitive dark-matter annihilation/decay bounds, the first neutrino-based branon constraints, and a negative KM3NeT forecast for the thermal relic cross-section.

  2. Search for GeV-scale Dark Matter from the Galactic Center with IceCube-DeepCore

    astro-ph.HE 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    Using 9.28 years of IceCube-DeepCore data, no dark-matter neutrino signal is found from the Galactic Center, setting the strongest neutrino-telescope limits for GeV-scale annihilation and decay.

  3. The potential of diffuse Galactic Ridge neutrino measurements to constrain dark matter

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    ANTARES Galactic Ridge neutrino measurements can constrain annihilating and decaying dark matter for various masses and profiles while comparing to astrophysical backgrounds, with forecasts for future observatories.
