In recent years Dark Matter has become one of the major research topics in astrophysics. In one of the most popular scenario the Dark Matter is composed of WIMPs. These particles are present in massive astrophysical onbjects like the Galactic Centre and here they self-annihilate producing Standard Model particles that eventually decay producing neutrinos. In this thesis work we performed an indirect search for Dark Matter trying to detect these neutrinos with the aim of the ANTARES submarine Cherenkov neutrino telescope. The analysis and the results of this research are here presented.

Abstract
In recent years Dark Matter has become one of the major research topics in astrophysics. In one of the most popular scenario the Dark Matter is composed of WIMPs. These particles are present in massive astrophysical onbjects like the Galactic Centre and here they self-annihilate producing Standard Model particles that eventually decay producing neutrinos. In this thesis work we performed an indirect search for Dark Matter trying to detect these neutrinos with the aim of the ANTARES submarine Cherenkov neutrino telescope. The analysis and the results of this research are here presented.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
