I present results of the analysis of a set of images obtained in the field ofthe Milky Way globular cluster NGC 6362 using the Dark Energy Camera, which ismounted in the 4.0m Victor Blanco telescope of the Cerro-Tololo Interamericanobservatory. The cluster was selected as a science case for deep high-qualityphotometry because of the controversial observational findings and theoreticalpredictions on the existence of cluster tidal tails. The collected data allowedus to build an unprecedented deep cluster field color-magnitude diagram, fromwhich I filtered stars to produce a stellar density map, to trace the stellardensity variation as a function of the position angle for different concentricannulii centered on the cluster, and to construct a cluster stellar densityradial profile. I also built a stellar density map from a syntheticcolor-magnitude diagram generated from a model of the stellar populationdistribution in the Milky Way. All the analysis approached converge toward arelatively smooth stellar density between 1 and $\sim$ 3.8 cluster Jacobiradii, with a slightly difference smaller than 2 times the background stellardensity fluctuation between the mean stellar density of the south-eastern andthat of north-western hemispheres, the latter being higher. Moreover, thespatial distribution of the recently claimed tidal tail stars agrees well notonly with the observed composite star field distribution, but also with theregion least affected by interstellar absorption. Nevertheless, I detected alow stellar density excess around the cluster Jacobi radius, from which Iconclude that NGC 6362 present a thin extra tidal halo.
