Large dark matter cross sections from supergravity and superstrings
We study the direct detection of supersymmetric dark matter in the light of recent experimental results. In particular, we show that regions in the parameter space of several scenarios with a neutralino-nucleon cross section of the order of $10^{-6}$ pb, i.e., where current dark matter detectors are...

| Summary: | We study the direct detection of supersymmetric dark matter in the light of recent experimental results. In particular, we show that regions in the parameter space of several scenarios with a neutralino-nucleon cross section of the order of $10^{-6}$ pb, i.e., where current dark matter detectors are sensitive, can be obtained. These are supergravity scenarios with intermediate unification scale, and superstring scenarios with D-branes. : Talk given at COSMO-01, Rovaniemi, Finland, August 29-September 4, 2001.
