Description
The IceCube and ANTARES collaborations recently reported measurements of high-energy neutrinos from the galactic plane and galactic ridge. If cosmic rays scatter off dark matter particles at the galactic halo efficiently, a sizable high-energy neutrino flux may be produced. If we consider the deep inelastic scattering of cosmic rays with dark matter particles at the galactic ridge, we can track the resulting high-energy neutrino spectra from meson decays. In this talk I will show how current measurements from ANTARES already allow us to place strong bounds in some regions of the parameter space of sub-GeV dark matter and what is going to be the sensitivity to this interactions that future neutrino experiments can reach.
