abstract = {Understanding the nature and identity of dark matter is a
key goal in the physics community. In the case that
TeV-scale dark matter particles decay or annihilate into
Standard Model particles, very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays
(greater than 100 GeV) will be present in the final state.
The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System
(VERITAS) is an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope
array that can indirectly detect VHE gamma rays in an energy
range of 100 GeV to >30 TeV. Dwarf spheroidal galaxies
(dSphs) are ideal candidates in the search for dark matter
due to their high dark matter content, high mass-to-light
ratios, and their low gamma-ray fluxes from astrophysical
processes. This study uses a legacy dataset of 638 h
collected on 17 dSphs, built over 11 years with an observing
strategy optimized according to the dark matter content of
the targets. The study addresses a broad dark matter
particle mass range, extending from 200 GeV to 30 PeV. In
the absence of a detection, we set the upper limits on the
dark matter velocity-weighted annihilation cross section.},
