Comparing the Predictions of two Mixed Neutralino Dark Matter Models with the Recent CDMS II Candidate Events
arXiv:1001.4346 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.81.057701
Abstract
We consider two optimally mixed neutralino dark matter models, based on nonuniversal gaugino masses, which were recently proposed by us to achieve WMAP compatible relic density over a large part of the MSSM parameter space. We compare the resulting predictions for the spin-independent DM scattering cross-section with the recent CDMS II data, assuming the possibility of the two reported candidate events being signal events. For one model the predicted cross-section agrees with the putative signal over a small part of the parameter space, while for the other the agreement holds over the entire WMAP compatible parameter space of the model.
