Description

The H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array, which observes the universe in the very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray domain, is involved in indirect searches for particle Dark Matter (DM). Observations towards regions with presumably high DM density like dwarf galaxies or cores of nearby galaxies have been conducted over the last years. Available data of the Galactic Center was reanalyzed with DM search in mind as well as new observations were conducted. In this talk, past results and present activities of the H.E.S.S. experiment concerning the search for DM in the galactic center region will be presented.
