Constraining the mSUGRA parameter space using the entropy of dark matter halos

Abstract

We derive an expression for the entropy of a dark matter halo described by a Navarro-Frenk-White model with a core. The comparison of this entropy with the one of dark matter at the freeze-out era allows us to constraint the parameter space in mSUGRA models. Moreover, joining these constraints with the ones obtained from the usual abundance criteria and demanding both criteria to be consistent with the 2$\sigma$ bounds for the abundance of dark matter: $0.112\le {\Omega }_{DM}{h}^2\le 0.122$, we are able to clearly discriminate validity regions among the values of $\tan \beta$, one of the parameters of the mSUGRA model. We found that for the explored regions of the parameter space, small values of tan$\beta$ are not favored; only for tan$\beta \simeq 50$ are both criteria significantly consistent. In the region where both criteria are consistent we also found a lower bound for the neutralino mass, $m_{\chi }\ge 141$ GeV.
