Prospects of Focus Point Supersymmetry for Snowmass 2013

TL;DR

This paper reviews focus point supersymmetry, especially the CMSSM focus point region, analyzing current and future collider and dark matter constraints to evaluate its viability.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive review of focus point supersymmetry and assesses how current and future experiments constrain this parameter space.

Findings

Focus point region is currently constrained by dark matter experiments.

Future experiments will probe large portions of the focus point parameter space.

The focus point region remains a viable area for supersymmetry searches.

Abstract

We briefly review the motivations and features of focus point supersymmetry and in particular the focus point region of the CMSSM. Applying the constraint that the neutralino is a thermal relic, we examine current and projected collider and dark matter constraints on the focus point region. We demonstrate that the focus point region is currently constrained by multiple dark matter experiments, and future sensitivy on multiple fronts will probe large portions of the parameter space.
