Journal club presentation

A key ingredient in assessing whether or not a stable neutralino can explain the observed dark matter of the universe is the mass of the neutralino. For many SUSY decay chains, only mass differences can be well determined by conventional techniques leaving a large uncertainty in the absolute mass scale and therefore in the mass of the LSP neutralino itself. I describe a technique that can...
