Implications of a possible 115 GeV supersymmetric Higgs boson on detection and cosmological abundance of relic neutralinos
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a supersymmetric neutral Higgs boson with a mass of about 115 GeV and with the other prerequisites required by the LEP Higgs events would be compatible with the detection of relic neutralinos in current set–ups for WIMP direct search. Thus this putative Higgs would fit remarkably well in an interpretation in terms of relic neutralinos of the annual–modulation effect recently measured in a WIMP direct experiment. We also show that the cosmological abundance of the relevant neutralinos reaches values of cos-

Indirect Search for Neutralino Dark Matter with High Energy Neutrinos
We investigate the prospects of indirect searches for supersymmetric neutralino dark matter. Relic neutralinos gravitationally accumulate in the Sun and their annihilations produce high energy neutrinos. Muon neutrinos of this origin can be seen in large detectors like AMANDA, IceCube and ANTARES. We evaluate the relic density and the detection rate in several models — the minimal supersymmetri...
متن کاملHiggs decays in supersymmetric models with light neutralinos
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, neutralinos lighter than 50 GeV are compatible with all accelerator, precision, and cosmological bounds. Such neutralinos might constitute a relevant decay channel for the Higgs boson, modifying its expected signatures at hadron colliders. We study the branching ratio h → χχ and determine the region in the supersymmetric parameter space where it is ...
متن کاملRelic Neutralino Density in Scenarios with Intermediate Unification Scale
We analyse the relic neutralino density in supersymmetric models with an intermediate unification scale. In particular, we present concrete cosmological scenarios where the reheating temperature is as small as O(1 − 1000 MeV). When this temperature is associated to the decay of moduli fields producing neutralinos, we show that the relic abundance increases considerably with respect to the stand...
متن کاملThe Higgs intense–coupling regime in constrained SUSY models and its astrophysical implications
We analyze the Higgs intense–coupling regime, in which all Higgs particles of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model are light with masses of the same order and the value of tan β the ratio of vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs fields is large, in the framework of Supergravity scenarios with non–universal soft Supersymmetry breaking scalar masses in the Higgs sector. In particular, w...
متن کاملTheoretical Implications of the Possible Observation of Higgs Bosons at Lep
Theoretical implications of the possible observation of a Higgs boson with a mass of about 115 GeV at LEP are discussed. Within the Standard Model a Higgs boson in this mass range agrees well with the indirect constraints from electroweak precision data. However, it would nevertheless point towards physics beyond the Standard Model, in particular to Supersymmetric extensions. The interpretation...
