Using data recorded with the ANTARES telescope from 2007 to 2015, a new search for dark matter annihilation in the Milky Way has been performed. Three halo models and five annihilation channels, WIMP+WIMP→bb¯,W+W−,τ+τ−,μ+μ− and νν¯ , with WIMP masses ranging from 50 GeVc2 to 100 TeVc2 , were considered. No excess over the expected background was found, and limits on the thermally averaged annihilation cross-section were set.
