| contents | We use the latest ANTARES Galactic Ridge neutrino measurements to investigate their implications for indirect dark matter (DM) searches. We consider both annihilating and decaying DM scenarios, spanning a wide range of masses and final states, and systematically compare the resulting neutrino fluxes with the expected astrophysical Galactic diffuse emission. Furthermore, we compare the results for different DM density profiles allowed by the observations, from spike and cuspy to cored profiles. We do so for the WIMP model-independent scenario and explore two more specific models: branons and very heavy sterile neutrinos, where a cold DM candidate arises naturally from the theory. We show the potential neutrino measurements in the Galactic Ridge for DM and make predictions for future neutrino observatories. |
