Smoothly evolving Supercritical-String Dark Energy relaxes Supersymmetric-Dark-Matter Constraints

arXiv:hep-ph/0612152 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2007.03.058

Abstract

We show that Supercritical-String-Cosmology (SSC) off-equilibrium and time-dependent-dilaton effects lead to a smoothly evolving dark energy for the last 10 billion years in concordance with all presently available astrophysical data. Such effects dilute by a factor O (10) the supersymmetric dark matter density (neutralinos), relaxing severe WMAP 1,3 constraints on the SUSY parameter space. Thus, LHC anticipated searches/discoveries may discriminate between conventional and Supercritical-String Cosmology.
