Searching for Supersymmetric Dark Matter- The Modulation Effect Due to   Caustc Rings
  The detection of the theoretically expected dark matter is central to particle physics and cosmology. Current fashionable supersymmetric models provide a natural dark matter candidate which is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The theoretically obtained event rates are usually very low or even undetectable. So the experimentalists would like to exploit the modulation effect. In the present paper we study a specific class of non-isothermal models involving flows of caustic rings. We find that the modulation effect arising from such models is smaller than that predicted by the isothermal models.
