Identifies parameter regions with Yukawa unification and correct dark matter relic density.

Discusses potential LHC signatures of these models.

Highlights implications for dark matter and collider experiments.

Abstract

Unification of GUT-scale t-b-\tau Yukawa couplings is a significant feature of simple SO(10) SUSY GUTs. Here we present the results of a search that used the Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to investigate regions of Yukawa unification and WMAP-compatible dark matter relic density in SO(10)-like MSSM parameter spaces. We mention the possible LHC signatures of Yukawa unified scenarios and discuss the consequences for dark matter.
