Supersymmetric dark matter in the light of LEP

TL;DR

This paper reviews how LEP collider search results constrain supersymmetric models of dark matter, providing indirect limits on model parameters based on experimental data.

Contribution

It summarizes the impact of LEP search outcomes on the parameter space of supersymmetric dark matter models, offering updated constraints.

Findings

LEP results impose significant restrictions on supersymmetric dark matter models.

Constraints help narrow down viable parameter regions for supersymmetric particles.

The paper synthesizes experimental limits with theoretical model predictions.

Abstract

The negative outcome of searches for supersymmetry performed at LEP have been used to derive indirect constraints on the parameters of the most plausible models for cold dark matter based on supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. The main results are summarized.
