Abstract
We analyze the properties of neutralino under the hypothesis that some preliminary experimental results of the DAMA/NaI Collaboration may be indicative of a yearly modulation effect. We examine which supersymme tric configurations would be singled out by the DAMA/NaI data. We also discuss the possibility to investigate these configurations by means of experimental searches for relic neutralinos other than direct searc hes. We finally discuss the possibility to probe these configurations by accelerator searches. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
