Abstract

A search has been made for upward-going muons in the Kamiokande detector as a possible signal from neutralino dark matter captured in the earth. We found the upward-going muon flux from the earth is consistent with that produced by the atmospheric neutrinos. Assuming the galactic halo contains neutralino dark matter, this result provides limits on the neutralino mass in the region 30-80 GeV and gives stringent constraints on the allowed regions of the parameter space in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model.
