Non-universal Soft SUSY Breaking and Dark Matter

Abstract

A brief review of non-universalities in the soft SUSY breaking sector of supergravity grand unification is given. The effects of these non-universalities on the analysis of event rates in neutralino nucleus scattering are discussed. An analysis is also given of the implications of the simultaneous imposition of proton stability and dark matter constraints. One finds that these constraints put an upper limit on the gluino mass.
