Prospect Of Success

The LHC will have much to say about the mysteries of dark matter, and this talk reviews this potential within the context of supersymmetry (SUSY). The SUSY search reach of CMS and ATLAS is presented, followed by a brief introduction to the methods of SUSY parameter measurement. A representative ATLAS study is then used to explain how the LHC can be used to obtain a measurement of the relic density of a neutralino WIMP candidate. Finally, the prospect of success is considered by looking at different points in the MSSM parameter space.

A survey of the mSUGRA/CMSSM parameter space is presented. The viable regions of the parameter space which satisfy standard experimental constraints are identified and discussed. These constraints include a 124–127 GeV mass for the lightest CP-even Higgs and the correct relic density for cold dark matter. The superpartner spectra corresponding to these regions fall within the well-known hyperbolic branch and are found to possess sub-TeV neutralinos and charginos, with mixed Bino/Higgsino LSP's with 200–800 GeV masses. In addition, the models possess ~3–4 TeV gluino masses and heavy squarks and sleptons with masses [Formula: see text]. Spectra with a Higgs mass mh≅125 GeV and a relic density 0.105 ≤ Ωχ0h2≤ 0.123 are found to require EWFT at around the one-percent level, while those spectra with a much lower relic density require EWFT of only a few percent. Moreover, the spin-independent neutralino–proton direct detection cross-sections are found to be below or within the XENON100 2σ limit and should be experimentally accessible now or in the near future. Finally, it is pointed out that the supersymmetry breaking soft terms corresponding to these regions of the mSUGRA/CMSSM parameter space (m0∝ m1/2with [Formula: see text] and A0= -m1/2) may be obtained from general flux-induced soft terms in Type IIB flux compactifications with D3 branes.

Cosmological Data

In SUGRA inspired supersymmetric models with universal boundary conditions for the soft masses, the scalar cross-section σ scalar for the elastic neutralino–nucleon scattering is in general several orders of magnitude below the sensitivity of current experiments. For large tan β and low M1/2, m0 values, the theoretically predicted σ scalar can approach the sensitivity of these experiments (≈ 10-6 pb ) being at the same time in agreement with recent cosmological data, which impose severe restrictions on the CDM relic density, and with accelerator experiments which put lower bounds on sparticle and Higgs boson masses. Further improvement of the sensitivity of DAMA and CDMS experiments will probe the large tan β region of the parameter space in the vicinity of the boundaries of the parameter space allowed by chargino and Higgs searches.

Abstract We present a detailed study of the non-abelian vector dark matter candidate Wt with a MeV–GeV low mass range, accompanied by a dark photon A′ and a dark Z′ of similar masses, in the context of a gauged two-Higgs-doublet model with the hidden gauge group that has the same structure as the Standard Model electroweak gauge group. The stability of dark matter is protected by an accidental discrete Z2 symmetry (h-parity) which was usually imposed ad hoc by hand. We examine the model by taking into account various experimental constraints including dark photon searches at NA48, NA64, E141, ν-CAL, BaBar and LHCb experiments, electroweak precision data from LEP, relic density from Planck satellite, direct (indirect) detection of dark matter from CRESST-III, DarkSide-50, XENON1T (Fermi-LAT), and collider physics from the LHC. The theoretical requirements of bounded from below of the scalar potential and tree level perturbative unitarity of the scalar sector are also imposed. The viable parameter space of the model consistent with all the constraints is exhibited. While a dark Z′ can be the dominant contribution in the relic density due to resonant annihilation of dark matter, a dark photon is crucial to dark matter direct detection. We also demonstrate that the parameter space can be further probed by various sub-GeV direct dark matter experimental searches at CDEX, NEWS-G and SuperCDMS in the near future.

The Future

In this note we briefly review the recent studies of dark matter in the MSSM and its singlet extensions: the NMSSM, the nMSSM, and the general singlet extension. Under the new detection results of CDMS II, XENON, CoGeNT, and PAMELA, we find that (i) the latest detection results can exclude a large part of the parameter space which is allowed by current collider constraints in these models. The future SuperCDMS and XENON can cover most of the allowed parameter space; (ii) the singlet sector will decouple from the MSSM-like sector in the NMSSM; however, singlet sector makes the nMSSM quite different from the MSSM; (iii) the NMSSM can allow light dark matter at several GeV to exist. Light CP-even or CP-odd Higgs boson must be present so as to satisfy the measured dark matter relic density. In case of the presence of a light CP-even Higgs boson, the light neutralino dark matter can explain the CoGeNT and DAMA/LIBRA results; (iv) the general singlet extension of the MSSM gives a perfect explanation for both the relic density and the PAMELA result through the Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation. Higgs decays in different scenario are also studied.

The neutralino sector of the semi-constrained next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model is explored under recent experimental constraints, with special attention to dark matter (DM) limits. The effects of the upper and lower bounds of dark matter relic density and recent direct detection constraints on spin-independent and -dependent cross-sections are thoroughly analyzed. Particularly, we show which regions of the parameter space are ruled out due to the different dark matter constraints and the corresponding model-specific parameters: λ,κ,Aλ, and Aκ. We analyze all annihilation and co-annihilation processes (with heavier neutralinos and charginos) that contribute to the dark matter relic density. The mass components of the dark matter candidate, the lightest neutralino χ˜10, are studied, and the decays of heavy neutralinos and charginos, especially χ˜20 and χ˜1+, into the lightest neutralino are examined. We impose semi-universal boundary conditions at the Grand Unified Theory scale, and require a moderate range of tanβ≲10. We find that the allowed parameter space is associated with a heavy mass spectrum in general and that the lightest neutralino is mostly Higgsino with a mass range that resides mostly between 1000 and 1500 GeV. However, smaller mass values can be achieved if the DM candidate is bino-like or singlino-like.

Event Rates

The expected event rates for [Formula: see text] dark matter for supergravity grand unified models are studied for a variety of dark matter detectors over the parameter space with tan β≤20 and a range of gluino masses where the maximum event rate can at least approach 10−2 event/kg.da. This is the maximum sensitivity that the dark matter detectors can hope to achieve in the forseeable future. Radiative breaking constraints are implemented and effects of the heavy neutral Higgs as well as loop corrections to the neutral Higgs sector are included. The parameter space is further restricted so that the [Formula: see text] relic density obeys the CHDM constraint [Formula: see text], consistent with the COBE data and astronomical determinations of the Hubble constant. It is found that the best detectors sensitive to coherent [Formula: see text] scattering (e.g. Pb) are about 5–10 times more sensitive than those based on incoherent spin-dependent scattering (e.g. CaF). In general, the dark matter detectors are most sensitive to the large tan β and small m0 and [Formula: see text] sectors of the parameter space.

We briefly review the current CDMS/XENON constraints on the neutralino dark matter in three popular supersymmetric models: the minimal (MSSM), the next-to-minimal (NMSSM) and the nearly minimal (nMSSM). The constraints from the dark matter relic density and various collider experiments are also taken into account. The conclusion is that for each model the current CDMS/XENON limits can readily exclude a large part of the parameter space allowed by other constraints and the future SuperCDMS or XENON100 can cover most of the allowed parameter space. The implication for the Higgs search at the LHC is also discussed. It is found that in the currently allowed parameter space the MSSM charged Higgs boson is quite unlikely to be discovered at the LHC while the neutral Higgs bosons H and A may be accessible at the LHC in the parameter space with a large μ parameter.

The relic abundance of asymmetric dark matter particles in the scalar-tensor model is analyzed in this paper. We extend the numerical and analytical calculations of the relic density of the asymmetric dark matter in the standard cosmological scenario to the nonstandard cosmological scenario. We focus on the scalar-tensor model. Hubble expansion rate is changed in the nonstandard cosmological scenario. This leaves its imprint on the relic density of dark matter particles. In this paper we investigate to what extent the asymmetric dark matter particle’s relic density is changed in the scalar-tensor model. We use the observed present day dark matter abundance to find the constraints on the parameter space in this model.

We extend the standard model with three right-handed singlet neutrinos and a real singlet scalar. We impose two Z2 and Z2′ symmetries. We explain the tiny neutrino mass-squared differences with two Z2- and Z2′-even right-handed neutrinos using type I seesaw mechanism. The Z2-odd fermion and the Z2′-odd scalar can both serve as viable dark matter candidates. We identify new regions in the parameter space which are consistent with relic density of the dark matter from recent direct search experiments LUX-2016 and XENON1T-2017 and LHC data.

The Universe

Abstract Higgs portal models are the most minimal way to explain the relic abundance of the Universe. They add just a singlet that only couples to the Higgs through a single parameter that controls both the dark matter relic abundance and the direct detection cross-section. Unfortunately this scenario, either with scalar or fermionic dark matter, is almost ruled out by the latter. In this paper we analyze the Higgs-portal idea with fermionic dark matter in the context of a 2HDM. By disentangling the couplings responsible for the correct relic density from those that control the direct detection cross section we are able to open the parameter space and find wide regions consistent with both the observed relic density and all the current bounds.
