most popular candidate part of a well-defined and well-motivated framework of SUSY calculable relic density: Ωχh2 ∼ 0.1 from freeze-out (...more like 10−4 − 103)

stable with some discrete symmetry (e.g., R-parity or baryon parity) testable with today’s experiments (DD, ID, LHC) ...no obviously superior competitor (both to SUSY and to χ) exists Don’t forget: multitude of SUSY-based models: general MSSM, CMSSM, split SUSY, MNMSSM, SO(10) GUTs, string inspired models, etc, etc neutralino properties often differ widely from model to model

neutralino = stable, weakly interacting, massive ⇒ WIMP
