Description

We derive an expression for the entropy of a present dark matter halo described by the Navarro-Frenk-White model and a core. The comparison of this entropy with the one of the halo at the freeze-out era allows us to constrain the parameter space in mSUGRA models, when used with the WMAP observations. Moreover, by joning these results with the ones obtained from the usual abundance criteria, we are able to clearly descriminate validity regions among the tan beta values of the mSUGRA model, by demanding both criteria to be consistent with the 2 sigma bounds of the WMAP observations for the relic density: 0.0945<Omega_CDM h^2<0.1287. As a first result, we found that for A_0=0, and sgn mu=+, small values of tan beta are not favored; only for tan beta ~ 50 are both criteria significantly consistent. We go further and derive the spectra for the rest of the mSUGRA parameters consistent with the cosmological considerations.
