摘要

Galaxy clusters are one of the largest gravitationally bound structures observed in the Universe. Their mainmass component is dark matter, making up about 80% of their total mass budget. The annihilation of dark matterparticles is expected to give a sizeable very-high energy gamma-ray signal. Recent N-body numerical simulations havepredicted the existence of a large amount of substructures in the form of sub-halos populating the host halo. In the case ofgalaxy clusters, substructures may contribute significantly to the overall gamma-ray flux from dark matter annihilation.The H.E.S.S. array of four identical imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes has observed the Fornax galaxy clusterfor a total of 11 hours of live time. No significant signal is found, both for point-like and extended source analyses.Assuming several different models of particle dark matter, upper-limits on the dark matter self-annihilation cross-section(v ) as a function of the dark matter particle mass are derived. Possible enhancements of the dark matter annihilationrate, as could be caused by halo substructures or the Sommerfeld effect, are studied. For a dark matter particle massTeV, the Sommerfeld resonance lowers the limit to level of 10-25 cm 3 s-1
