The Higgs boson mass and the abundance of dark matter constrain the CMSSM/mSUGRA supersymmetry breaking inputs. A complete map of the CMSSM that is consistent with these two measured quantities is provided. Various “continents,” consisting of non-excluded models, can be organized by their dark mat ter dynamics. The following mechanisms manifest: well-tempering, resonant pseudo scalar Higgs annihilation, neutralino/stau coannihilations and neutralino/stop coan nihilations. Benchmark models are chosen in order to characterize the viable regions. The expected visible signals of each are described, demonstrating a wide range of predictions for the 13 TeV LHC and a high degree of complementarity between dark matter and collider experiments. The parameter space spans a finite volume, which can be probed in its entirety with experiments currently under consideration.
