Abstract

We study a specific SUGRA model with nonuniversal gaugino masses as an alternative to the minimal SUGRA model in the context of supersymmetric dark matter. The lightest supersymmetric particle in this model turns out to be a Higgsino-dominated instead of a B-ino-dominated lightest neutralino. The thermal relic density of this Higgsino dark matter is somewhat lower than the cosmologically favored range, which means that it may be only a subdominant component of cold dark matter. Nonetheless, it predicts favorable rates of indirect detection, which can be seen in square-km-size neutrino telescopes.
