Title: Weak mixing below the weak scale in dark-matter direct detection

Abstract

If dark matter couples predominantly to the axial-vector currents with heavy quarks, the leading contribution to dark-matter scattering on nuclei is either due to one-loop weak corrections or due to the heavy-quark axial charges of the nucleons. We calculate the effects of Higgs and weak gauge-boson exchanges for dark matter coupling to heavy-quark axial-vector currents in an effective theory below the weak scale. By explicit computation, we show that the leading-logarithmic QCD corrections are important, and thus resum them to all orders using the renormalization group.

Bino variations: Effective field theory methods for dark matter direct detection

Journal Article Berlin, Asher ; Robertson, Denis S. ; Solon, Mikhail P. ; ... - Physical Review D

We apply effective field theory methods to compute bino-nucleon scattering, in the case where tree-level interactions are suppressed and the leading contribution is at loop order via heavy flavor squarks or sleptons. We find that leading log corrections to fixed-order calculations can increase the bino mass reach of direct detection experiments by a factor of 2 in some models. These effects are particularly large for the bino-sbottom coannihilation region, where bino dark matter as heavy as 5–10 TeV may be detected by near future experiments. For the case of stop- and selectron-loop mediated scattering, an experiment reaching the neutrino backgroundmore »« less

From quarks to nucleons in dark matter direct detection

Journal Article Bishara, Fady ; Brod, Joachim ; Grinstein, Benjamin ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We provide expressions for the nonperturbative matching of the effective field theory describing dark matter interactions with quarks and gluons to the effective theory of nonrelativistic dark matter interacting with nonrelativistic nucleons. We give expressions of leading and subleading order in chiral counting. In general, a single partonic operator matches onto several nonrelativistic operators already at leading order in chiral counting. Keeping only one operator at the time in the nonrelativistic effective theory thus does not properly describe the scattering in direct detection. The matching of the axial-axial partonic level operator, as well as the matching of the operators couplingmore »« less

Direct and indirect detection of neutralino dark matter and collider signatures in an SO(10) model with two intermediate scales

Journal Article Drees, Manuel ; Kim, Ju Min ; Park, Eun-Kyung ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We investigate the detectability of neutralino dark matter via direct and indirect searches as well as collider signatures of an SO(10) model with two intermediate scales. We compare the direct dark matter detection cross section and the muon flux due to neutralino annihilation in the Sun that we obtain in this model with minimal supergravity predictions and with the sensitivity of current and future experiments. In both cases, we find that the detectability improves as the model deviates more from minimal supergravity. In order to study collider signatures, we choose two benchmark points that represent the main phenomenological features ofmore »« less

Renormalization group study of the minimal Majoronic dark radiation and dark matter model

Journal Article Chang, We-Fu ; Ng, John N. - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study the 1-loop renormalization group equation running in the simplest singlet Majoron model constructed by us earlier to accommodate the dark radiation and dark matter content in the universe. A comprehensive numerical study was performed to explore the whole model parameter space. A smaller effective number of neutrinos △N{sub eff}∼0.05, or a Majoron decoupling temperature higher than the charm quark mass, is preferred. We found that a heavy scalar dark matter, ρ, of mass 1.5–4 TeV is required by the stability of the scalar potential and an operational type-I see-saw mechanism for neutrino masses. A neutral scalar, S, ofmore »« less

Light Higgsino dark matter

Journal Article Drees, M ; Nojiri, M M ; Roy, D P ; ... - Physical Review, D

We reinvestigate the question of whether a light Higgsino-like neutralino is a viable dark matter candidate. To this end we compute the dominant one-loop corrections to the masses of the Higgsino-like states in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), due to loops involving heavy quarks and their superpartners. We also calculate analogous corrections to the couplings of Higgsino-like neutralinos to Z and Higgs bosons. In the region of parameter space leading to high Higgsino purity of the lightest neutralino, these corrections can change the expected relic density by up to a factor of 5 in either direction. We conclude thatmore »« less
