Abstract
We investigate the contribution of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model Higgs bosons produced in the neutralino annihilation in the Earth and Sun to the total weakly interacting massive particles detecti on signal. We find that this contribution is important and results in a low er bound for the muon flux from the Sun of 10(-7)-10(-8) m(-2) yr(-1) for n eutralinos heavier than about 200 GeV. We notice that due to the SUSY charg ed Higgs bosons one can expect an energetic tau neutrino flux from the Sun at a level of 10(2) m(-2) yr(-1).
