Description

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a well-motivated extension of the Standard Model which comes with compelling candidates for dark matter. In fact, the Large Hadron Collider may give us a first opportunity to test SUSY directly in the laboratory. In addition to collider experiments, the early Universe offers complementary ways to probe new physics. This talk will review restrictions on SUSY models imposed by the observed dark matter density and by the framework of big bang nucleosynthesis.
