Non-thermal Gravitino Dark Matter in Gauge Mediation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that gravitinos produced by decays of a supersymmetry breaking scalar field (the pseudo-moduli field) can naturally explain the observed abundance of dark matter in a certain class of the gauge mediation models. We study the decay processes as well as cosmological constraints on this scenario in detail, particularly focusing on different behavior of the real and imaginary components of the pseudo-moduli field. Cosmologically viable scenario emerges when the gravitino and the pseudo-moduli masses are O(10 − 100) MeV and O(100) GeV, respectively.

Thermal Leptogenesis and Gauge Mediation
We show that a mini-thermal inflation occurs naturally in a class of gauge mediation models of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, provided that the reheating temperature TR of the primary inflation is much higher than the SUSY-breaking scale, say TR > 1010 GeV. The reheating process of the thermal inflation produces an amount of entropy, which dilutes the number density of relic gravitinos. This di...
متن کاملGauge mediation in supergravity and gravitino dark matter
Gravitinos and hidden sector fields often cause a cosmological disaster in supersymmetric models. We find that a model with gravitational gauge mediation solves such a problem quite naturally. The μ-problem is also absent in the model. Moreover, the abundance of gravitinos explains correct amount of dark matter of the universe. The dark matter abundance can be calculated without detailed inform...
متن کاملGravitino dark matter and a high reheating temperature
Supersymmetry breaking mediated by gauge interactions is regarded an attractive option due to the lack of new sources of flavor changing neutral currents other than those already present in the Standard Model. In models with gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB), the dark matter particle is the gravitino. It is produced both thermally in scatterings in the hot plasma and non-thermally fr...
متن کاملGravitino dark matter in hybrid gauge - gravity models
We study the phenomenology of generic supergravity models in which gravity mediation naturally competes with gauge mediation as the origin of supergravity-breaking. This class of hybrid models has been recently motivated in string inspired constructions and differs from usual gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking models in having messenger masses of order of the GUT scale. In these scenarios th...
متن کاملConstraints on Gravitino Dark Matter Scenarios with Long-Lived Charged Sleptons
The existence of the gravitino G̃—the gauge field of local supersymmetry (SUSY) transformations—is an unavoidable implication of SUSY theories containing gravity. As the spin-3/2 superpartner of the graviton, the gravitino is an extremely weakly interacting particle with couplings suppressed by inverse powers of the (reduced) Planck scale MP = 2.4×1018 GeV. In the course of spontaneous SUSY brea...
