DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will show how future neutrino detectors can als
 o be used to constrain some of the Dark Matter properties. If the Dark Mat
 ter of the Universe is constituted by WIMPs\, they would accumulate in the
  core of astrophysical objects as the Sun and annihilate into particles of
  the Standard Model. Neutrinos would be produced\, both directly and via t
 he subsequent decay of leptons\, quarks and bosons. While Cherenkov neutri
 no detectors/telescopes can only count the number of neutrinos above some 
 threshold energy\, we show first that by exploiting their energy resolutio
 n\, planned future detectors for long baseline experiments might have the 
 capability of reconstructing the neutrino spectrum and we indicate what we
  can learn from this. On the other hand\, we also discuss the possibility 
 to use Dark Matter annihilations in the halo in order to constrain\, in a 
 model-independent way\, the annihilation cross section. In order to do thi
 s\, we use the fact that neutrinos are the least detectable particles in t
 he Standard Model\, so that a null signal in this channel allows us to set
  the most conservative upper bound on this cross section. Similarly\, we a
 lso show how we can use neutrino detectors to set the most conservative an
 d model-independent lower bound on the Dark Matter lifetime\, in case it i
 s not stable.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1688/
