 Using fits of these dark matter profiles to the rotation data of the milky way predictions for the density distribution of the dark matter can be made \cite{Fornego2004,Evans2004}. Assuming parameters for the SUSY models determine the neutralino mass, the thermally averaged annihilation cross section and the gamma yield. Combining both models about the dark matter distribution and SUSY predictions for the gamma flux from SUSY particle dark matter annihilation are derived.
 
-Figure \ref{fig:exclusion_lmits} shows exclusion limits taking the sensitivity of MAGIC from MC simulations into account and predictions from typical allowed SUSY modells in the plane $N_{\gamma}(E_{\gamma}>E_{\mathrm{thresh}})\langle \sigma v \rangle$ vs $m_{\chi}$. 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 expectation.

 The galactic center is an interesting target in all wavelengths. A great wealth of scientific publications is available, over 600 since 1999. First detections of the Galactic Center by the other IACTs Whipple, Cangaroo and HESS are made. Nevertheless the reconstructed fluxes differ significantly. This can be explained by calibration problems, time variations of the source or different integrated sources due to different point spread functions. The nature of the source of the VHE gamma rays is not yet been agreed on. 
 
-Conventional acceleration mechanisms are due to ... The galactic center is expected to be the brightest source of VHE gammas  from particle dark matter annihilation. Although the observed gamma radiation is most probably not due to dark matter annihilation, it is interesting to investigate and characterize the observed gamma radiation as it is not excluded that a part of the flux is due to dark matter annihilation.
+Conventional acceleration mechanisms for the VHE gamma radiation utilize the accretion onto the black hole and supernova remnants.

 The MAGIC data could help to determine the nature of the source and to solve the flux discrepancies between the measurements by other experiments. Due to the large Zenith angle MAGIC will have a large energy threshold but also a large collection area and good statistics at the highest energies. The observation results can also be used to inter-calibrate the different IACTs.
