Dark Matter Searches with the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope

摘要

The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope is currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea.An important part of the ANTARES scientific programme ,is the search for cold,non-baryonic dark matter in the form of neutralinos.This paper describes how this search can be made,summarises the expected ANTARES sensitivity to this particular type of dark matter and compares the predicted ANTARES sensitivity with that expected from direct detection methods.
