Higgsino Dark Matter in the MSSM

Abstract

A comologically stable neutral component from a nearly pure $SU(2)$ doublet, with a mass $\sim$1.1 TeV, is one appealing candidate for dark matter (DM) consistent with all direct dark matter searches. We have explored this possibility in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM), with the Higgsino playing the role of DM, in theories where supersymmetry breaking is transmitted by gravitational interactions at the unification scale $M\simeq 2\times 10^{16}$ GeV. We have focussed our work in the search of "light" supersymmetric spectra, which could be at reach of present and/or future colliders, in models with universal and non-universal Higgs and gaugino Majorana masses. The lightest supersymmetric particles of the spectrum are, by construction, two neutralinos and one chargino, almost degenerate, with a mass $\sim$1.1 TeV, and a mass splitting of a few GeV. Depending on the particular scenario the gluino can be at its experimental mass lower bound $\sim$ 2.2 TeV; in the squark sector, the lightest stop can be as light as $\sim$ 1.3 TeV, and the lightest slepton, the right-handed stau, can have a mass as light as $1.2$ TeV. The lightest neutralino can be found at the next generation of direct dark matter experimental searches. In the most favorable situation, the gluino, with some specific decay channels, could be found at the next run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the lightest stop at the High-Luminosity LHC run.
