Description
The supersymmetric WIMP hypothesis is currently under scrutiny as there
is no experimental result supporting the existence a lightest
supersymmetric particle. The recent non-detection in large scale direct
detection experiments has demonstrated that a broader approach towards
dark matter particles is indicated. In this work, we show a simple
approach to convert constraints/sensitivities from direct detection
experiments into indirect constraints (and vice versa). This helps to
use the complementary information provided by different dark matter
search methods in a consistent way. Furthermore, the same approach is
then useful to calculate the corresponding relic density under the
assumption of thermal dark matter production.
