Dark matter searches with the KM3NeT telescope

KM3NeT is a neutrino telescope under construction in the Mediterranean sea, consisting of a GeV-TeV sensitive detector, ORCA, and a TeVPeV one, ARCA. Indirect detection of dark matter particles could be possible through the observation of their annihilation products in the form of neutrinos. In this contribution we report the potential of the complete ARCA telescope on searches for WIMP dark matter annihilations in the Galactic Center. In addition, searches in the Sun and Galactic Center for partial detector configurations (ARCA8-19-21 and ORCA6) are presented. No significant excess over the expected background is observed, leading to limits on the WIMP dark matter thermally averaged annihilation cross section and the WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section.

Abstract

KM3NeT is a neutrino telescope under construction in the Mediterranean sea, consisting of a GeV-TeV sensitive detector, ORCA, and a TeVPeV one, ARCA. Indirect detection of dark matter particles could be possible through the observation of their annihilation products in the form of neutrinos. In this contribution we report the potential of the complete ARCA telescope on searches for WIMP dark matter annihilations in the Galactic Center. In addition, searches in the Sun and Galactic Center for partial detector configurations (ARCA8-19-21 and ORCA6) are presented. No significant excess over the expected background is observed, leading to limits on the WIMP dark matter thermally averaged annihilation cross section and the WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section.
