New limits on dark matter by ANTARES from searches in the Galactic Centre and the Earth December 21, 2016- One of the most relevant physics topics studied by ANTARES is the nature of dark matter. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are the most popular set of candidates. If they are their own anti-particles, we could see the products of…
