The synthesis of 6Li during the epoch of Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) due to residual anni-
hilation of dark matter particles is considered. By comparing the predicted 6Li to observations of
this isotope in low-metallicity stars, generic constraints on s-wave dark matter annihilation rates
into quarks, gauge bosons, and Higgs bosons are derived. It may be shown that, for example,
wino dark matter in anomaly-mediated SUSY breaking scenarios with masses mχ
～
250GeV or
light neutralinos with mχ
～
20GeV annihilating into light quarks are, taken face value, ruled out.
These constraints may only be circumvented if significant 6Li depletion has occurred in all three
low-metallicity stars in which this isotope has been observed to date. In general, scenarios invoking
non-thermally generated neutralinos with enhanced annihilation rates for a putative explanation of
cosmic ray positron or galactic center as well as diffuse background gamma-ray signals by present-
day neutralino annihilation will have to face a stringent 6Li overproduction problem. On the other
hand, it is possible that 6Li as observed in low-metallicity stars is entirely due to residual dark
matter annihilation during BBN, even for neutralinos undergoing a standard thermal freeze-out.
The nature of the ubiquitous cosmological dark mat-
ter is one of the outstanding questions in cosmology.
Though there exist a multitude of proposed candidates,
much consideration has been given to the supersymmet-
ric (SUSY) neutralino, provided it is the lightest super-
symmetric particle (LSP). SUSY extensions of the stan-
dard model are particularly successful in overcoming a
number of shortfalls of the standard model, such as the
hierarc
