CDM in Supersymmetric Models

Abstract

The supersymmetric extension to the Standard Model offers a promising cold dark matter candidate, the lightest neutralino. I will review the phenomenological and cosmological constraints on the supersymmetric parameter space and discuss the prospects for the detection of this candidate in both accelerator and direct detection searches.
