Recent cosmological data allow to determine the universal Dark Matter (DM) density to a precision of about 10%, if a simple, well-motivated ansatz for the spectrum of primordial density perturbations is correct. Not surprisingly, a thermal…

Supersymmetry can explain the observed dark matter relic density with a neutralino dark matter particle and a coannihilating, almost mass-degenerate sparticle. If this were the case in nature, a linear electron positron collider like the…
