摘要
We calculate the relic density of very heavy, stable scalar neutrinos in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. We include all two-body final states, as well as the effects of co-annihilation with scalar electrons. We find that the sneutrino relic density is in the cosmologically interesting region 0.1 less than or similar to Omega(($) over tilde nu)h(2) less than or similar to 1.0 for 550 GeV less than or similar to m(($) over tilde nu) less than or similar to 2300 GeV. For nominal values of the parameters of our galactic halo, recent results from the Heidelberg-Moscow direct detection experiment set an upper limit on Omega(($) over tilde nu) which is lower by a factor ranging from two to ten, depending on m(less than or similar to nu).
