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 \to b \bar { b } ,W ^ { + } W ^ { - } , \tau ^ { + } \tau ^ { - } , \mu ^ { + } \mu ^ { - } and \nu \bar { \nu } , with WIMP masses ranging from 50 \frac { \text { GeV } } { \text { c } ^ { 2 } } to 100 \frac { \text { TeV } } { \text { c } ^ { 2 } } , were considered . No excess over the expected background was found , and limits on the thermally averaged annihilation cross–section were set .
