Compatibility of the new DAMA/NaI data on an annual modulation effect in   WIMP direct search with a relic neutralino in supergravity schemes
  Recent results of the DAMA/NaI experiment for WIMP direct detection point to a possible annual modulation effect in the detection rate. We show that these results, when interpreted in terms of a relic neutralino, are compatible with supergravity models. Together with the universal SUGRA scheme, we also consider SUGRA models where the unification condition in the Higgs mass parameters at GUT scale is relaxed.
