Many supersymmetric models such as the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (CMSSM) feature a strip in parameter space where the lightest neutralino χ is identified as the lightest supersymmetric particle, the lighter stop squark $$\tilde{t}_1$$ is the next-tolightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP), and the relic χ cold dark matter density is brought into the range allowed by astrophysics and cosmology by coannihilation with the lighter stop squark $$\tilde{t}_1$$ NLSP. We calculate the stop coannihilation strip in the CMSSM, incorporating Sommerfeld enhancement effects, and we explore the relevant phenomenological constraints and phenomenological signatures. In particular, we show that the $$\tilde{t}_1$$ may weigh several TeV, and its lifetime may be in the nanosecond range, features that are more general than the specific CMSSM scenarios that we study in this paper.
