Abstract
We survey the elastic scattering rates of neutralinos on many nuclei, incorporating LEP constraints and choosing model parameters that give a critical density of the lightest neutralino, using the odd-group model to estimate nuclear matrix elements and incorporating a simple model for the momentum dependence of the elastic spin and mass form factors. We find that the rates for elastic scattering on 19F can be estimated reliably and are reasonably large for a relic mass, M x , in the range M x ≈20–60 GeV. We present calculations of the elastic neutralino - 19F scattering rates in regions of parameter space consistent with LEP and other laboratory experiments.
