Relic neutralinos in a best-fitted MSSM

Abstract

We examine the properties of relic neutralinos in the regions of the parameter space selected by recent fits to all the electroweak observables within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We discuss the relic neutralino cosmic abundance and the direct detection rates for these most likely supersymmetric configurations. We employ the relevant experimental bounds to constrain the set of the best-fit configurations and discuss the discovery potential of the direct search for relic neutralinos.
