Abstract
Various methods of searching for supersymmetric dark matter are sensitive to weakly interacting massive particles with different properties. One consequence of this is that the phenomenology of dark matter detection can vary dramatically in different supersymmetric breaking scenarios. In this paper, we consider the sensitivities to supersymmetric dark matter of different detection methods and techniques in a wide variety of supersymmetric breaking scenarios. We discuss the ability of various astrophysical experiments, such as direct experiments, gamma-ray satellites, neutrino telescopes, and positron and antiproton cosmic ray experiments, to test various supersymmetry breaking scenarios. We also discuss what information can be revealed about supersymmetry breaking by combining results from complementary experiments. We place emphasis on the differences between various experimental techniques.
