There is a strong and growing interplay between particle physics and
cosmology. In this talk, I discuss some aspects of this interplay concerning
dark matter candidates put forth by theories beyond the Standard Model. In
explaining the requirements for collider tests of such dark matter candidates,
I focus in particular on the case of the lightest neutralino in the MSSM.Comment: 7 pages, contribution to the proceedings of the IX Workshop on High
