Dark Matter and the Scale of Susy Breaking
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the prospects for dark matter (DM) in two classes of supersymmetric (SUSY) models which are characterized by the different mechanism of SUSY breaking, namely the more common supergravity models with very large scale of SUSY breaking and the recent schemes where SUSY is broken at a relatively low scale and gravitinos are likely to be the lightest SUSY particle. We point out that the former scheme is in general associated with the cold dark matter (CDM) scenario, while the latter predicts a warm dark matter (WDM) dominated Universe.

Natural SUSY Dark Matter: A Window on the GUT Scale
One of the key motivations for supersymmetry is that it provides a natural candidate for dark matter. For a long time the density of this candidate particle fell within cosmological bounds across much of the SUSY parameter space. However with the precision results of WMAP, it has become apparent that the majority of the SUSY parameter space no longer fits the observed relic density. This has gi...
متن کاملLight Gravitinos as Mixed Dark Matter
In theories with a gauge-mediated mechanism of supersymmetry breaking the gravitino is likely to be the lightest superparticle and, hence, a candidate for dark matter. We show that the decay of the next-to-lightest superparticle into a gravitino can yield a non-thermal population of gravitinos which behave as a hot dark matter component. Together with the warm component, which is provided by th...
متن کاملDirect, Indirect and Collider Detection of Neutralino Dark Matter In SUSY Models with Non-universal Higgs Masses
In supersymmetric models with gravity-mediated SUSY breaking, universality of soft SUSY breaking sfermion masses m0 is motivated by the need to suppress unwanted flavor changing processes. The same motivation, however, does not apply to soft breaking Higgs masses, which may in general have independent masses from matter scalars at the GUT scale. We explore phenomenological implications of both ...
متن کاملBreaking the Dark Force
Recently Arkani-Hamed, Finkbeiner, Slatyer and Weiner proposed a unified explanation to the set of experimental and observational anomalies with possible connections to Dark Matter (DM). A central role is played by GeV scale “dark” gauge bosons exchanged by the weak scale DM. Motivated by this proposal, we build an explicit model of DM in the context of Weak Scale Supersymmetry (SUSY). We emplo...
متن کاملGravitino Warm Dark Matter Motivated by the CDF eeγγ Event
The eeγγ+/ ET event observed by the CDF at Fermilab is naturally explained by dynamically supersymmetry breaking models and suggests the presence of the light gravitino which can be a warm dark matter. We consider large scale structure of the universe in the worm dark matter model and find that the warm dark matter plays almost the same role in the formation of the large scale structure as a co...
