    287 Using fits of these dark matter profiles to the rotation data of the Milky Way predictions for the density profile $\rho_{\chi}$ of the dark matter can be made \cite{Fornego2004,Evans2004}. On the other hand, for a given model of the dark matter particles $m_{\chi},\;\langle \sigma v \rangle$ and $N_{\gamma}$ are determined. Combining the particle physics predictions with the predictions for the DM density profile
    288 predictions for the gamma flux from dark matter particle annihilation are derived.

    291 Figure \ref{fig:exclusion_lmits} shows exclusion limits for MAGIC (solid straight lines) for the four most promising sources,
    292 in the plane $\langle \sigma v \rangle$ vs. $m_{\chi}$. The energy threshold $E_{\mathrm{th}}$ has been assumed to be 100 GeV. Due to its proximity the GC yields the largest expected flux from particle dark matter annihilation and thus the lowest exclusion limit. Nevertheless, this minimum measurable flux is more than one order of magnitude above the highest fluxes predicted by SUSY models (full circles). Also the flux measured by the HESS experiment is far above the theoretical expectation (dotted line).%N_{\gamma}(E_{\gamma}>E_{\mathrm{th}})

Due to its proximity the GC yields the largest expected flux from particle dark matter annihilation and thus the lowest exclusion limit. Nevertheless, this minimum measurable flux is more than one order of magnitude above the highest fluxes predicted by SUSY models for the NFW halo profile. For this profile also the flux measured by the HESS experiment is far above the theoretical expectation. In the extreme case of adiabatic compression some models might be in reach of the observations.
