Current status of the light neutralino thermal dark matter in the phenomenological MSSM

Abstract

In a previous publication, we studied the parameter space of the phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (pMSSM) with a light neutralino thermal dark matter ($M_{{\tilde{\chi }}_1^0}\le M_h/2$) and observed that the recent results from the dark matter and collider experiments put strong constraints on this scenario. In this work, we present in detail the arguments behind the robustness of this result against scanning over the large number of parameters in pMSSM. The Run-3 of LHC will be crucial in probing the surviving regions of the parameter space. We further investigate the impact of light staus on our parameter space and also provide benchmarks which can be interesting for Run-3 of LHC. We analyse these benchmarks at the LHC using the machine learning framework of \texttt{XGBOOST}. Finally, we also discuss the effect of non-standard cosmology on the parameter space.
