Direct detection of neutralino dark matter and b->s+gamma decays

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 \bsg\ 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.
