On the Cover

Regions of supersymmetry parameter space for which detection of the heavy A or H Higgs boson at the Fermilab Tevatron collider is excluded by astrophysical dark matter searches. Shown are current dark matter constraints (green), projected constraints for 2007 (black), as well as previous collider constraints (blue).
