Supersymmetric Dark Matter in the Light of LEP and the Tevatron Collider

Abstract

We analyze the accelerator constraints on the parameter space of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, comparing those now available from LEP II and anticipating the likely sensitivity of Tevatron Run II. The most important limits are those from searches for charginos, neutralinos and Higgs bosons at LEP, and searches for stop squarks, charginos and neutralinos at the Tevatron Collider. We also incorporate the constraints derived from b --> s + gamma decay, and discuss the relevance of charge- and colour-breaking minima in the effective potential. We combine and compare the different constraints on the Higgs-mixing parameter mu, the gaugino-mass parameter m_{1/2} and the scalar-mass parameter m0, incorporating radiative corrections to the physical particle masses. We focus on the resulting limitations on supersymmetric dark matter, assumed to be the lightest neutralino, incorporating coannihilation effects in the calculation of the relic abundance. We find that m_chi > 51 GeV and tan(beta) > 2.2 if all soft supersymmetry-breaking scalar masses are universal, including those of the Higgs bosons, and that these limits weaken to m_chi > 46 GeV and tan(beta) > 1.9 if non-universal scalar masses are allowed. Light neutralino dark matter cannot be primarily Higgsino in composition.
