Direct dark matter detection around the corner? Prospects in the Constrained MSSM

Abstract

We outline the WIMP dark matter parameter space in the Constrained MSSM by performing a comprehensive statistical analysis that compares with experimental data predicted superpartner masses and other collider observables as well as a cold dark matter abundance. We find that 10.10 pb≲SI p≲10−8 pb for direct WIMP detection (with details slightly dependent on the assumptions made). We conclude that most of the 95% probability region for the cross section will be explored by future one-tonne detectors, that will therefore cover most of the currently favoured region of parameter space.
