DESCRIPTION:We live in a Universe where more than 80% of the mass seems to
  be missing\, we find substantial astrophysical evidence for the existence
  of a new component: Dark Matter (DM). All observations of this component
  are confined to gravitational interactions. Early proposals included cele
 stial bodies and baryonic matter\, while current research still considers
  possibilities like Primordial Black Holes. Among particle candidates\, We
 akly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) remain a leading proposal due 
 to their theoretical appeal and detectable cross-sections.\n\nWhen WIMP DM
  decays or annihilates\, neutrinos are produced. Therefore\, an indirect d
 etection of DM involves searching for an excess of neutrinos in astrophysi
 cal targets such as the Galactic Centre or the Sun\, where large amounts 
 of DM are believed to accumulate. Such an excess of neutrinos could then b
 e observed by large-scale Cherenkov detectors such as KM3NeT\, which is c
 urrently under construction in the abyss of the Mediterranean Sea\, while 
 taking data in partial detector configurations. KM3NeT is composed of two
  undersea Cherenkov neutrino detectors: KM3NeT/ORCA\, a dense-geometry det
 ector optimized for the measurement of low energy (GeV) neutrinos\, and K
 M3NeT/ARCA\, a cubic kilometer-sized detector\, intended for the detection
  of high energy astrophysical neutrinos.\n\nIn this seminar we will explor
 e ORCA’s potential as KM3NeT’s smallest detector to search for WIMP si
 gnals across its various operational configurations. \n\n \n\nhttps://in
