The relic density is expressed as where CDM = 0.23 0.04.

Neutralino ( ) constitutes the dark matter in this model. It is the lightest and stable particle in our model.

In order to calculate CDM, we need to know the density of the remaining neutralinos when they stopped annihilating each other, “neutralino annihilation,” i.e.

CDM

CDM can be expressed in terms of our mSUGRA parameters.

ConclusionConclusionSUSY cures the problems of the SM.

It fulfills the dream of Grand Unification and explains the dark matter (DM) content.

The minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model, based on the unification framework, is already constrained by many experiments.

The DM content of the universe requires some specific features of the mSUGRA parameter space e.g. co-annihilation.

The signal of the co-annihilation at the colliders will confirm the model.A linear collider will be able to probe this

signal and accurately measure the mass.We think that the LHC will also be able

to probe this signal.
