Entropy considerations in constraining the mSUGRA parameter space
  We explore the use of two criteria to constraint the allowed parameter space in mSUGRA models. Both criteria are based in the calculation of the present density of neutralinos as dark matter in the Universe. The first one is the usual ``abundance'' criterion which is used to calculate the relic density after the ``freeze-out'' era. To compute the relic density we used the numerical public code micrOMEGAs. The second criterion applies the microcanonical definition of entropy to a weakly interacting and self-gravitating gas evaluating then the change in the entropy per particle of this gas between the ``freeze-out'' era and present day virialized structures. An ``entropy-consistency'' criterion emerges by comparing theoretical and empirical estimates of this entropy. The main objective of our work is to determine for which regions of the parameter space in the mSUGRA model are both criteria consistent with the 2$\sigma$ bounds according to WMAP for the relic density: $0.0945<\Omega_{CDM}h^2<0.1287$. As a first result, we found that for $A_0=0$, sgn$\mu=+$, small values of tan$\beta$ are not favored; only for tan$\beta\simeq50$ are both criteria significantly consistent.
