Bounds on ${{\widetilde{\mathit \chi}}_{{1}}^{0}}$ from dark matter searches

INSPIRE   PDGID:
S046PHB
These papers generally exclude regions in the $\mathit M_{2}~-~{{\mathit \mu}}$ parameter plane assuming that ${{\widetilde{\mathit \chi}}_{{1}}^{0}}$ is the dominant form of dark matter in the galactic halo. These limits are based on the lack of detection in laboratory experiments, telescopes, or by the absence of a signal in underground neutrino detectors. The latter signal is expected if ${{\widetilde{\mathit \chi}}_{{1}}^{0}}$ accumulates in the Sun or the Earth and annihilates into high-energy ${{\mathit \nu}}$'s.

39  DEBOER 2006 interpret an excess of diffuse Galactic gamma rays observed with the EGRET satellite as originating from ${{\mathit \pi}^{0}}$ decays from the annihilation of neutralinos into quark jets.

41  LOSECCO 1995 reanalyzed the IMB data and places lower limit on ${\mathit m}_{{{\widetilde{\mathit \chi}}_{{1}}^{0}}}$ of 18 GeV if the LSP is a photino and 10 GeV if the LSP is a higgsino based on LSP annihilation in the sun producing high-energy neutrinos and the limits on neutrino fluxes from the IMB detector.
42  MORI 1993 excludes some region in $\mathit M_{2}--\mu $ parameter space depending on tan $\beta $ and lightest scalar Higgs mass for neutralino dark matter ${\mathit m}_{{{\widetilde{\mathit \chi}}^{0}}}>{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}$, using limits on upgoing muons produced by energetic neutrinos from neutralino annihilation in the Sun and the Earth.
43  BOTTINO 1992 excludes some region $\mathit M_{2}-{{\mathit \mu}}$ parameter space assuming that the lightest neutralino is the dark matter, using upgoing muons at Kamiokande, direct searches by Ge detectors, and by LEP experiments. The analysis includes top radiative corrections on Higgs parameters and employs two different hypotheses for nucleon-Higgs coupling. Effects of rescaling in the local neutralino density according to the neutralino relic abundance are taken into account.
44  BOTTINO 1991 excluded a region in $\mathit M_{2}−{{\mathit \mu}}$ plane using upgoing muon data from Kamioka experiment, assuming that the dark matter surrounding us is composed of neutralinos and that the Higgs boson is not too heavy.

See Fig.$~$8 in the paper.
47  MORI 1991B exclude a part of the region in the $\mathit M_{2}-{{\mathit \mu}}$ plane with ${\mathit m}_{{{\widetilde{\mathit \chi}}_{{1}}^{0}}}{ {}\lesssim{} }$ 80 GeV using a limit on upgoing muons originated by energetic neutrinos from neutralino annihilation in the earth, assuming that the dark matter surrounding us is composed of neutralinos and that ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit H}_{{1}}^{0}}}{ {}\lesssim{} }$ 80 GeV.
48  OLIVE 1988 result assumes that photinos make up the dark matter in the galactic halo. Limit is based on annihilations in the sun and is due to an absence of high energy neutrinos detected in underground experiments. The limit is model dependent.
