Supersymmetric Dark Matter - How Light Can the LSP Be?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a very minimal set of theoretical assumptions we derive a lower limit on the LSP mass in the MSSM. We only require that the LSP be the lightest neutralino, that it be responsible for the observed relic density and that the MSSM spectrum respect the LEP2 limits. We explicitly do not require any further knowledge about the MSSM spectrum or the mechanism of supersymmetry breaking. Under these assumptions we determine a firm lower limit on the neutralino LSP mass of 18 GeV. We estimate the effect of improved limits on the cold dark matter relic density as well as the effects of improved LEP2-type limits from a first stage of TESLA on the allowed range of neutralino LSP masses.

Collider Signatures of Axino and Gravitino Dark Matter
The axino and the gravitino are extremely weakly interacting candidates for the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). We demonstrate that either of them could provide the right amount of cold dark matter. Assuming that a charged slepton is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP), we discuss how NLSP decays into the axino/gravitino LSP can provide evidence for axino/gravitino dark ...
متن کاملThe Naturalness, Dark Matter and Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment in the Supersymmetric Standard Models with a Pseudo-Dirac Gluino
We study the naturalness, dark matter, and muon anomalous magnetic moment in the Supersymmetric Standard Models (SSMs) with a pseudo-Dirac gluino (PDGSSMs) from hybrid F− and D−term supersymmetry (SUSY) breakings. To obtain the observed dark matter relic density and explain the muon anomalous magnetic moment, we find that the low energy fine-tuning measures are larger than about 200 due to stro...
متن کاملAxinos as Dark Matter Particles
The identification of dark matter in our particle physics model is still a very open question. Here we will argue that axinos can be successful dark matter candidates in models with supersymmetry and the axion solution of the strong CP problem. Axinos can be the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), or can be heavier than the LSP. Axinos can be produced in the right abundance by thermal scatt...
متن کاملMass Density of Neutralino Dark Matter
The lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is stable in an R-parity conserving theory. In this article the steps needed to calculate the present day mass density of such a particle are detailed. It is shown that there can be a significant amount of LSP dark matter in the universe. Furthermore, relic abundance considerations put an upper bound on how large supersymmetry breaking masses can be wi...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Dark Matter and the Energy of a Linear Electron-Positron Collider
We suggest that supersymmetric dark matter be used to set the energy scale of a linear ee collider. Assuming that the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is a stable neutralino χ, as in many incarnations of the MSSM with conserved R parity, previous calculations that include coannihilation effects have delineated the region of the (m1/2, m0) plane where the LSP cosmological relic density lie...
