We study an extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model with a singlet supermultiplet S with coupling SH{sub 1}H{sub 2} in order to solve the {mu} problem as in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model, and right-handed neutrino supermultiplets N with couplings SNN in order to generate dynamically electroweak-scale Majorana masses. We show how in this model a purely right-handed sneutrino can be a viable candidate for cold dark matter in the Universe. Through the direct coupling to the singlet, the sneutrino cannot only be thermal relic dark matter but also have a large enough scattering cross section with nuclei to detect it directly in the near future, in contrast with most other right-handed sneutrino dark matter models.
