12/17/07 Cosmological Connection at the LHC: Stau Neutralino Coannihilation Case43Summary This talk is about a cosmological connection at the LHC in the case of co- annihilation (CA). The LHC should be able to uncover the striking small  M signature (smoking gun in the CA region) with ~10 fb -1 of data in multi-  final states and make high quality measurements with the first few years of running. With the mSUGRA model in the CA region, the dark matter content can be measured with an accuracy of ~40%.
