Relic density and elastic scattering cross sections of the neutralino in the MSSM with CP-violating phases

Abstract

We study the neutralino relic density and the neutralino-proton elastic scattering cross sections in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with CP-violating phases. We include all the final states to the neutralino pair annihilation cross section at the tree level, taking into account the mixing between the CP-even and CP-odd neutral Higgs fields. We show that variations of the relic density and the elastic scattering cross sections with the CP-violating phases are significant. In particular, interferences between the major contributions in the neutralino annihilation cross section can cause considerable enhancement of the relic density.
