  Using the data recorded by the ANTARES neutrino telescope during 2007 and
2008, a search for high energy neutrinos coming from the direction of the Sun
has been performed. The neutrino selection criteria have been chosen so as to
maximize the rejection of the atmospheric background with respect to possible
signals produced by the self-annihilation of weakly interactive massive
particles accumulated in the centre of the Sun. After data unblinding, the
number of neutrinos observed was found to be compatible with background
expectations. The results obtained were compared to the fluxes predicted by the
Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and 90% upper limits for
this model were obtained. Our limits are competitive with those obtained by
other neutrino telescopes such as IceCube and SuperKamiokande, which give
ANTARES limits for the spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross-section that are more
stringent than those obtained by direct search experiments.
