We include all the final states to the neutralino pair annihilation cross section at the tree level, taking into account the mixing between the CP-even and CP-odd neutral Higgs fields. We show that variations of the relic density and the elastic scattering cross sections with the CP-violating phases are significant. In particular, interferences between the major contributions in the neutralino annihilation cross section can cause considerable enhancement of the relic density.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2004-09-24T12:04:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.60.Jv", "95.35.+d" ], "keywords": [ "relic density", "cp-violating phases", "neutralino pair annihilation cross section", "neutralino-proton elastic scattering cross sections", "cp-odd neutral higgs fields" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
