Title: Effects of<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>CP</mml:mi></mml:math>violation on event rates in the direct detection of dark matter
Abstract: A full analytic analysis of the effects of $\mathrm{CP}$ violating phases on the event rates in the direct detection of dark matter in the scattering of neutralinos from nuclear targets is given. The analysis includes $\mathrm{CP}$ violating phases in softly broken supersymmetry in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model when generational mixings are ignored. A numerical analysis shows that large $\mathrm{CP}$ violating phases including the constraints from the experimental limits on the neutron and the electron electric dipole moment can produce substantial effects on the event rates in dark matter detectors.
