Segue 1: the best dark matter candidate dwarf galaxy surveyed by MAGIC
  Despite the interest in Dark Matter (DM) searches is currently more focused
on underground experiments, a signature of DM annihilation/decay in gamma-rays
from space would constitute a smoking gun for its identification. In this
contribution, we start with a brief review of the efforts of the ground-based
MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes system to detect DM signatures from dwarf satellite
galaxies orbiting the Milky Way halo. We then present the recent survey of
Segue 1, considered by many as possibly the most DM dominated satellite galaxy
known in our galaxy. No significant gamma-ray emission was found above the
background in around 30 hours of observation. This is the largest survey ever
made on a single dwarf by Cherenkov telescopes. We present a novel analysis
that fully takes into account the spectral features of the gamma-ray spectrum
of specific DM models in a Supersymmetric scenario. We also discuss the
prospects of detection after the Fermi observation of similar objects at lower
energies.
