high-energy neutrinos are produced from the decay of the LPs’ self-annihilation products. In mUED models, neutrinos can even be produced directly in the self-annihilations, since there is no helicity suppression of fermion pair production.

The search for WIMPs can be performed either directly by recording the recoil energy of nuclei when WIMPs scatter off them in suitable detectors, or indirectly. The indirect approach, which is adopted here, exploits a radiation signature (gamma-ray, synchroton, positron, anti-proton or, as in this case, neutrino flux) produced by the self-annihilation of WIMPs accumulated in massive astrophysical objects such as the Galactic Centre (GC), the Sun or the Earth [@indirectdm].

For the case of the GC, dealt with in this paper, where the density of dark matter in the galactic halo is supposed to be the highest, WIMPs self-annihilate to SM particles whose decay or hadronisation (if not directly to neutrinos) give rise to the production of high energy neutrinos which can travel from the GC to the Earth and be detected by neutrino telescopes.

In this paper, the indirect search for dark matter by looking for high-energy neutrinos coming from the GC, using the 2007-2012 data recorded by the ANTARES neutrino telescope, is described.
