Direct search for neutralino dark matter is analyzed in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, using a realistic evaluation of the neutralino relic abundance which also includes radiative corrections to the Higgs masses. Relevance of the present (Ge detectors) experimental data to set constraints on the parameters of the model is discussed and expectations for future experiments which involve neutralino-nucleus coherent processes are investigated. These results are compared to those obtained in a previous paper from indirect search data. In the present analysis particular attention is paid to the theoretical uncertainties due to the different estimates of the Higgs-nucleon coupling strength.

Minimal Supersymmetric Extension

Motivations for physics beyond the Standard Model are reviewed, with particular emphasis on supersymmetry at the TeV scale. Constraints on the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking terms (CMSSM) are discussed. These are also combined with the supersymmetric interpretation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The prospects for observing supersymmetry at accelerators are reviewed using benchmark scenarios to focus the discussion. Prospects for other experiments including the detection of cold dark matter, μ → e γ and related processes, as well as proton decay are also discussed.

Abstract In the framework where the strong coupling is dynamical, the QCD sector may confine at a much higher temperature than it would in the Standard Model, and the temperature-dependent mass of the QCD axion evolves in a non-trivial way. We find that, depending on the evolution of ΛQCD, the axion field may undergo multiple distinct phases of damping and oscillation leading generically to a suppression of its relic abundance. Such a suppression could therefore open up a wide range of parameter space, resurrecting in particular axion dark-matter models with a large Peccei-Quinn scale fa ≫ 1012 GeV, i.e., with a lighter mass than the standard QCD axion.

AbstractWe propose a general flavor-independent extension of the Standard Model (SM) with the minimal particle content, based on the symmetry $$SU(3)_C\times SU(2)_L\times U(1)_{Y'}\times U(1)_X\times Z_2$$ S U ( 3 ) C × S U ( 2 ) L × U ( 1 ) Y ′ × U ( 1 ) X × Z 2 . In this scenario, the charge operator is identified in terms of the charges of two U(1) gauge symmetries. The light neutrino masses are generated via Type-I seesaw mechanism only with two heavy right-handed neutrinos acquiring their Majorana masses through the $$U(1)_{Y'}\times U(1)_X$$ U ( 1 ) Y ′ × U ( 1 ) X symmetry breaking. We study various experimental constraints on the parameters of the model and investigate the phenomenology of the right-handed neutrino dark matter (DM) candidate assigned a $$Z_2$$ Z 2 -odd parity. We find that the most important constraints are the observed DM relic abundance, the current LHC limits, and the ambiguity of the SM neutral gauge boson mass.

Minimal Supersymmetric Extension

A gluino can decay into a color-singlet neutral fermion [Formula: see text] by radiating off a gluon. We study this process in a minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model. A significant branching fraction is possible depending on how much [Formula: see text] overlaps with the Higgs fermion which couples to the t quark and the mass of the t quark itself.

Minimal Supersymmetric Extension

In the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, we discuss the impact of the decays of the neutral Higgs bosons into supersymmetric particles, charginos/neutralinos and sfermions. We show that these decay modes could be dominant, when they are kinematically accessible, thus strongly suppressing the branching ratios for the decay channels which are used to detect the Higgs bosons at hadron colliders. These SUSY decay modes should therefore not be overlooked in the search for the Higgs particles at the LHC.
