Cold Dark Matter Detection via the LSP-Nucleus Elastic Scattering

Abstract

The momentum transfer dependence of the LSP-nucleus elastic scattering cross sections is studied. New imput SUSY parameters obtained in a phenomenologically allowed parameter space are used to calculate the coherent rate for various nuclear systems and the spin matrix elements for the proposed ${}^{207}Pb$ target. The results are compared to those obtained from other cold dark matter detection targets.
