First results on the search for dark matter in the Sun with the ANTARES neutrino telescope

Abstract

The ANTARES collaboration is currently operating the largest neutrino detector in the Northern Hemisphere. One of the goals of ANTARES is the search for dark matter in the universe. In this paper, the first results on the search for dark matter in the Sun with ANTARES in its 5 line configuration, as well as sensitivity studies on the dark matter search with the full ANTARES detector and the future cubic-kilometer neutrino telescope studied by the KM3NeT consortium are presented.
