Description
The H.E.S.S. experiment, an array of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov
Telescopes, observes the Galactic Center (GC) region in the very
high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) domain since 2004. The GC is believed to
be the region with the highest Dark Matter (DM) density in our Galaxy,
thus making it one of the primary targets for VHE gamma-ray
observations, looking for signals from annihilation or decay of DM
particles. The interpretation of the collected H.E.S.S. data with regard
to possible DM signals is however complicated by the presence of several
astrophysical sources of VHE gamma-ray radiation in this region. In this
talk, the current status of the search for DM signals from the GC region
is reviewed.
