Abstract:
We consider non-standard cosmological models in which the late decay of a scalar field reheats the Universe to a low reheating temperature, between 5 MeV and the standard freeze-out temperature of neutralinos of mass . We point out that in these models all neutralinos with standard density can have the density of cold dark matter, provided the right combination of the following two parameters can be achieved in the high energy theory: the reheating temperature, and the ratio of the number of neutralinos produced per decay over the field mass. We present the ranges of these parameters where a combination of thermal and non-thermal neutralino production leads to the desired density, as functions of and .- 12.60.Jv
