SUSY spectrum constraints on direct dark matter detection

TL;DR

This paper explores how current experimental constraints limit the MSSM parameter space for dark matter detection, highlighting the potential to exclude large regions and guiding collider searches for light SUSY particles.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of MSSM parameter space considering various constraints and shows how dark matter detection results can restrict SUSY models.

Findings

Non-observation of SUSY dark matter candidates can exclude large MSSM regions.

Dark matter detectors can influence collider search strategies.

Constraints can make collider searches for light SUSY particles more targeted.

Abstract

We perform an investigation of the MSSM parameter space at the Fermi scale taking into account available accelerator, non-accelerator and cosmological constraints. Extra assumptions about upper bounds for some of the SUSY particles are also imposed. We show that a non-observation of the SUSY dark matter candidates with a high-accuracy dark matter detector, such as Ge-73, under above-mentioned assumptions can exclude large domains of the MSSM parameter space and, for instance, can make especially desirable collider search for light SUSY charged Higgs boson.
