Scientific paper

In this paper we review the theoretical issues involved in the direct detection of supersymmetric (SUSY) dark matter. After a brief discussion of the allowed SYSY parameter space we focus on the determination of the traditional neutralino detection rates, in experiments which measure the energy of the recoiling nucleus, such as the coherent and spin induced rates and the dependence of the rate on the motion of the Earth (modulation effect). Then we examine the novel features appearing in directional experiments, which detect the recoiling nucleus in a given direction. Next we estimate the branching ratios for transitions to accessible excited nuclear levels. Finally we comment on the event rates leading to the atom ionization and subsequent detection of the outgoing electrons.
