A note on the primordial abundance of stau NLSPs
نویسنده
چکیده
In scenarios with a gravitino LSP, there exist strong BBN constraints on the abundance of a possible stau NLSP. We find that in settings with substantial leftright mixing of the stau mass eigenstates these constraints can be evaded even for very long-lived staus.

Thermal relic abundances of long-lived staus
In supersymmetric models with a long-lived stau being the lightest Standard Model superpartner, the stau abundance during primordial nucleosynthesis is tightly constrained. Considering the complete set of stau annihilation channels in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with real parameters for scenarios in which sparticle coannihilations are negligible, we calculate the decoupling...
متن کاملThe Phenomenology of Gravitino Dark Matter Scenarios in Supergravity Models
We review the phenomenology of gravitino dark matter within supergravity framework. Gravitino can be dark matter if it is the lightest supersymmetric particle, which is stable if R-parity is conserved. There are several distinct scenarios depending on what the next to lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) is. We discuss the constraints and summarize the phenomenology of neutralino, stau, stop...
متن کاملConstraints on Supersymmetric Models from Catalytic Primordial Nucleosynthesis of Beryllium
The catalysis of nuclear reactions by negatively charged relics leads to increased outputs of primordial 6Li and 9Be. In combination with observational constraints on the primordial fractions of 6Li and 9Be, this imposes strong restrictions on the primordial abundance and the lifetime of charged relics. We analyze the constraints from the catalysis of 9Be on supersymmetric models in which the g...
متن کاملThe long-lived stau as a thermal relic
The results presented in this thesis have in part already been published in Refs. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] listed overleaf (page v). We consider physics beyond the Standard Model which implies the existence a of long-lived electromagnetically charged massive particle species (CHAMP) which we denote by X ±. We discuss in detail the unique sensitivity the early Universe exhibits on the mere presence and o...
متن کاملAxinos as Cold Dark Matter
The connection of Dark Matter (DM) to our particle physics model is still one of the open cosmological questions. In these proceedings I will argue that axinos can be successful Cold Dark Matter candidates in models with Supersymmetry and the Peccei-Quinn solution of the strong CP problem. If they are the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP), they can be produced in the right abundance by the...
