Neutralino Dark Matter and Trilepton Searches in the MSSM
arXiv:0801.2539 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.77.095014
Abstract
Searches for supersymmetry are among the most exciting physics goals at Run II of the Tevatron. In particular, in supersymmetric models with light charginos, neutralinos and sleptons, associated chargino--neutralino production can potentially be observed as multi-lepton events with missing energy. We discuss how, in the generic TeV-scale MSSM, the prospects for these chargino-neutralino searches are impacted by cosmological considerations, namely the neutralino relic abundance and direct detection limits. We also discuss what an observation of chargino-neutralino production at the Tevatron would imply for the prospects of future direct dark matter searches without assuming specific patterns of supersymmetry breaking.
