Abstract

We analyze the implications of several recent cosmological and experimental measurements for the mass spectra of the Constrained MSSM (CMSSM). We compute the relic abundance of the neutralino and compare the new cosmologically expected and excluded mass ranges with those ruled out by the final LEP bounds on the lightest chargino and Higgs masses, with those excluded by current experimental values of $\br(B\to X_s Î³)$, and with those favored by the recent measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. We find that for $tanÎ²\lsim 45$ there remains relatively little room for the mass spectra to be consistent with the interplay of the several constraints. On the other hand, at larger values of $t an I^^{2} $ t h e d ecr e a s in g ma sso f t h e p se u d osc a l a r H i g g s g i v esr i se t o a w i d er eso nan ce in t h e n e u t r a l in o W I M P p ai r - annihi l a t i o n, w h ose p os i t i o n d e p e n d so n t h er a t i oo f t o p an d b o tt o m q u a r k ma sses .
