MSSM Dark Matter in Light of Higgs and LUX Results

الملخص EN

The constraints imposed on the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) parameter space by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Higgs mass limit and gluino mass lower bound are revisited.

We also analyze the thermal relic abundance of lightest neutralino, which is the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP).

We show that the combined LHC and relic abundance constraints rule out most of the MSSM parameter space except a very narrow region with very large tanβ (~50).

Within this region, we emphasize that the spin-independent scattering cross section of the LSP with a proton is less than the latest Large Underground Xenon (LUX) limit by at least two orders of magnitude.

Finally, we argue that nonthermal Dark Matter (DM) scenario may relax the constraints imposed on the MSSM parameter space.

Namely, the following regions are obtained: m0≃O(4) TeV and m1/2≃600 GeV for low tanβ (~10); m0~m1/2≃O(1) TeV or m0≃O(4) TeV and m1/2≃700 GeV for large tanβ (~50).
