TL;DR

This paper investigates electroweak supersymmetry within the GmSUGRA framework, identifying viable dark matter scenarios and parameter spaces consistent with current experimental constraints, and highlighting differences between $$ and $$ scenarios.

Contribution

It provides the first analysis of sbottom-neutralino coannihilation in GmSUGRA and compares the allowed parameter spaces for different signs of the Higgsino mass parameter.

Findings

Broader allowed parameter space for $$ scenario, including sbottom-neutralino coannihilation.

Higgs-pole and Z-pole regions are largely excluded for $$, but remain viable for $$.

Mass ranges: sbottoms 0.7-1.3 TeV, stops up to 1.0-1.3 TeV, staus and charginos up to 1.5 TeV.

Abstract

We explore the Electroweak Supersymmetry (EWSUSY) scenario within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) under the Generalized Minimal Supergravity (GmSUGRA) framework, given that the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon may now be consistent with the Standard Model (SM) prediction, we consider both signs of the Higgsino mass parameter, $\mu < 0$ and $\mu > 0$. A comprehensive scan of the parameter space is performed, subject to the experimental constraints from the LHC SUSY searches, Planck 2018 relic density, and LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) direct detection limits. We identify the viable regions featuring neutralino dark matter production via coannihilation with stau, chargino, stop, sbottom, and gluino, as well as through $A$-funnel, Higgs-resonance, and $Z$-resonance mechanisms. Notably, the $\mu < 0$ scenario yields a broader allowed parameter space, including for the first time sbottom-neutralino coannihilation solutions in GmSUGRA, which are absent for $\mu > 0$. While the Higgs-pole and $Z$-pole regions for $\mu > 0$ are largely excluded by the current LZ bounds, substantial viable regions remain for $\mu < 0$. Gluino coannihilation scenarios are strongly constrained by the current LHC data. The characteristic mass ranges of interest include sbottoms (0.7-1.3~TeV), stops (up to 1.0~TeV for $\mu > 0$ and 1.3~TeV for $\mu < 0$), staus and charginos (up to 1.5~TeV), and pseudoscalar Higgs bosons in the $A$-funnel (0.4-1.4~TeV). Moreover, the supersymmetric contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment remain within a $2\sigma$ deviation from the SM prediction. And our findings suggest that significant portions of the parameter space can be probed at the future LHC SUSY searches and upcoming dark matter direct detection experiments.
