Dark matter direct searches and the anomalous magnetic moment of muon

In the framework of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model ( CMSSM) we discuss the impact of the recent experimental information, especi ally from E821 Brookhaven experiment on g(mu) - 2 along with the light Higg s boson mass bound from LEP, to the dark matter direct searches. Imposing t hese experimental bounds, the maximum value of the spin-independent neutral ino-nucleon cross section turns out to be of the order of 10(-8) ph for la rge values of tan beta and low M-1/2, m(0). The effect of the recent experi mental bounds is to decrease the maximum value of the cross section by abou t an order of magnitude, demanding the analogous sensitivity from the direc t dark matter detection experiments.
