Dark Matter Implications for Linear Colliders
  The existence of dark matter is currently one of the strongest motivations for physics beyond the standard model. Its implications for future colliders are discussed. In the case of neutralino dark matter, cosmological bounds do not provide useful upper limits on superpartner masses. However, in simple models, cosmological considerations do imply that for supersymmetry to be observable at a 500 GeV linear collider, some signature of supersymmetry must appear before the LHC.
