Probing mild-tempered neutralino dark matter through top-squark production at the LHC
arXiv:2103.09810 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.104.055032
Abstract
The lightest neutralino, assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle, is proposed to be a dark matter (DM) candidate for the mass (100) GeV. Constraints from various direct dark matter detection experiments and Planck measurements exclude a substantial region of parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). However, a "mild-tempered" neutralino with dominant bino composition and a little admixture of Higgsino is found to be a viable candidate for DM. Within the MSSM framework, we revisit the allowed region of parameter space that is consistent with all existing constraints. Regions of parameters that are not sensitive to direct detection experiments, known as "blind spots," are also revisited. Complimentary to the direct detection of DM particles, a mild-tempered neutralino scenario is explored at the LHC with the center of mass energy =13 TeV through the top-squark pair production, and its subsequent decays with the standard-model-like Higgs boson in the final state. Our considered channel is found to be very sensitive also to the blind spot scenario. Detectable signal sensitivities are achieved using the cut-based method for the high luminosity options and , which are further improved by applying the multi-variate analysis technique.
