RELIC NEUTRALINOS IN A BEST-FITTED MSSM

We examine the properties of relic neutralinos in the regions of the p arameter space selected by recent fits to all the electroweak observab les within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, We discuss the r elic neutralino cosmic abundance and the direct detection rates for th ese most likely supersymmetric configurations, We employ the relevant experimental bounds to constrain the set of the best-fit configuration s and discuss the discovery potential of the direct search for relic n eutralinos.
