Abstract 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 → bb‾ W+W‾, τ+τ, µ+μ- and υυ-, with WIMP masses ranging from to 50 TEV/c2, were considered. No excess over the expected background was found, and limits on the thermally averaged annihilation cross-section were set.
