Direct detection of neutralino dark matter and b → sγ decays
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We analyze the direct detection rate of minimal supersymmetric neutralino dark matter in germanium, sapphire and sodium iodide detectors, imposing cosmological and accelerator bounds including those from b → sγ decay. In contrast with several other recent analyses we find models with light charged higgsinos and large stop mixing in which the counting rate in solid state detectors exceeds 10 events/kg/day.
