CP Violating Phases and the Dark Matter Problem

Abstract

New CP violating phases in the MSSM can affect both the abundance and detection of neutralino dark matter. We discuss the effect of including cosmological constraints in the limits on new sources of CP violation in the MSSM and the effects of new CP violating parameters on dark matter densities and detection.
