Description
Kination-dominated quintessence scenarios can provide an intriguing connection between thermal WIMP dark
matter and dark energy which can be tested at forthcoming and future colliders. We present the results of our
investigation of the implications of such nonstandard cosmological models for neutralino dark matter in the MSSM,
focusing on the role of the ILC in determining the parameter space constraints. We also describe a procedure in
which such kination-dominated quintessence scenarios can be embedded within inflationary cosmology.
