These high energy hadrons can be accelerated by the massive black hole \cite{GC_black_hole}, associated with the Sgr A$^*$, supernovae or an energetic pulsar. Alternative mechanisms invoke the hypothetical annihilation of super-symmetric dark matter particles (for a review see \cite{jung96}) or curvature radiation of protons in the vicinity of the central super massive black hole \cite{}.156 High energy gamma rays can be produced in the GC in the non-thermal radio filaments by high-energy leptons which scatter background infrared photons from the nearby ionized clouds \cite{Pohl1997,Aharonian2005}, or by hadrons colliding with dense matter.

The flux prediction depends on the cho ise of SUSY paramters and the spatial distribution of the dark matter. The spectra of the produced gamma radiation has a very characteristic feature a sharp cut-off at the mass of the dark matter particle. Also the flux should be absolutely stable in time.192 where ... is ... . The flux prediction depends on the choose of SUSY parameters and the spatial distribution of the dark matter.

In the very center the dark matter density can even more enhanced through an adiabatic compression due to the baryons \cite{Prada2004}. All dark matter distributions that predict observable fluxes are very cusped yielding a point-like source. … … 196 196 Using fits of these dark matter profiles to the rotation data of the milky way predictions for the gamma flux from SUSY particle dark matter annihilation can be made \cite{Fornego2004,Evans2004}. 197 197 198 Figure \ref{fig:exclusion_lmits} shows exclusion limits taking the sensitivity of MAGIC from MC simulations into account. Due to its relative vicinity the Galactic Center yield the largest expected flux from particle dark matter annihilation. Nevertheless this flux is more than one order of magnitude below the current MAGIC sensitivity. Also the observed flux from the HESS experiment way above the theoretical expect ion.198 Figure \ref{fig:exclusion_lmits} shows exclusion limits taking the sensitivity of MAGIC from MC simulations into account.

The observed spectrum extends to more than 18 TeV, well beyond the favo ured mass region of the lightest SUSY particle, and the observed flux is larger than the theoretical expection in most models. This leads to the conclusion that most likely the dominating part of the observed gamma flux from the Galactic Center is not due to SUSY particle Dark Matter annihilation. Other dark matter scenarios like Kaluza-Klein Dark Matter can not be excluded.209 Detailed discussion of the observed gamma flux from the Galactic Center can be found in \cite{Hooper2004,Horns2004}.
