Description
The indirect search for dark matter is a topic of utmost interest in neutrino telescopes. The ANTARES detector is located on the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea 40 km off the southern french coast. ANTARES has been taking data since 2007 when the first half of the detector was installed. In this talk the results of the different analyses for dark matter signals from different potential sources, including the Sun and the Galactic Center, produced with different analysis methods will be presented. The specific advantages of neutrino telescopes in general and of ANTARES in particular will be explained. As an example, the indirect search for Dark Matter towards the Sun performed by neutrino telescopes currently lead to the best sensitivities and limits on the spin dependent WIMP-nucleon cross section with respect to existing direct detection experiments.
