Title: Higgs portals for thermal Dark Matter. EFT perspectives and the NMSSM

Abstract

We analyze a low energy effective model of Dark Matter in which the thermalrelic density is provided by a singlet Majorana fermion which interacts with the Higgs fieldsvia higher dimensional operators. Direct detection signatures may be reduced if blind spotsolutions exist, which naturally appear in models with extended Higgs sectors. Explicitmass terms for the Majorana fermion can be forbidden by aZ3symmetry, which in addi-tion leads to a reduction of the number of higher dimensional operators. Moreover, a weakscale mass for the Majorana fermion is naturally obtained from the vacuum expectationvalue of a scalar singlet field. The proper relic density may be obtained by thes-channelinterchange of Higgs and gauge bosons, with the longitudinal mode of theZboson (theneutral Goldstone mode) playing a relevant role in the annihilation process. This modelshares many properties with the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Stan-dard Model (NMSSM) with light singlinos and heavy scalar and gauge superpartners. Inorder to test the validity of the low energy effective field theory, we compare its predictionswith those of the ultraviolet complete NMSSM. Extending our framework to includeZ3neutral Majorana fermions, analogous to the bino in the NMSSM, we find the appearanceof a new bino-singlino well tempered Dark Matter region

The constrained NMSSM: mSUGRA and GMSB

Journal Article Ellwanger, Ulrich - AIP Conference Proceedings

We review different constrained versions of the NMSSM: the fully constrained cNMSSM with universal boundary conditions for gauginos and all soft scalar masses and trilinear couplings, and the NMSSM with soft terms from Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking. Regarding the fully constrained cNMSSM, after imposing LEP constraints and the correct dark matter relic density, one single parameter is sufficient to describe the entire Higgs and sparticle spectrum of the model, which then contains always a singlino LSP. The NMSSM with soft terms from GMSB is phenomenologically viable if (and only if) the singlet is allowed to couple directly to the messengermore »« less

Light neutralino dark matter in the NMSSM

Journal Article Gunion, John F ; /UC, Davis ; Hooper, Dan ; ... - Phys.Rev.D73:015011,2006

Neutralino dark matter is generally assumed to be relatively heavy, with a mass near the electroweak scale. This does not necessarily need to be the case, however. In the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) and other supersymmetric models with an extended Higgs sector, a very light CP-odd Higgs boson can naturally arise making it possible for a very light neutralino to annihilate efficiently enough to avoid being overproduced in the early Universe. In this article, we explore the characteristics of a supersymmetric model needed to include a very light neutralino, 100 MeV < m{sub {tilde {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0}} < 20more »« less

Simplified models of mixed dark matter

Journal Article Cheung, Clifford ; Sanford, David - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We explore simplified models of mixed dark matter (DM), defined here to be a stable relic composed of a singlet and an electroweak charged state. Our setup describes a broad spectrum of thermal DM candidates that can naturally accommodate the observed DM abundance but are subject to substantial constraints from current and upcoming direct detection experiments. We identify ''blind spots'' at which the DM-Higgs coupling is identically zero, thus nullifying direct detection constraints on spin independent scattering. Furthermore, we characterize the fine-tuning in mixing angles, i.e. well-tempering, required for thermal freeze-out to accommodate the observed abundance. Present and projected limitsmore »« less

Dark matter constraints in the minimal and nonminimal supersymmetric standard model

Journal Article Stephan, A - Physical Review, D

We determine the allowed parameter space and the particle spectra of the minimal SUSY standard model (MSSM) and nonminimal SUSY standard model (NMSSM) imposing correct electroweak gauge symmetry breaking and recent experimental constraints. The parameters of the models are evolved with the SUSY renormalization group equations assuming universality at the grand unified scale. Applying the new unbounded from below constraints we can exclude the lightest SUSY particle singlinos and light scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs singlets of the NMSSM. This exclusion removes the experimental possibility to distinguish between the MSSM and NMSSM via the recently proposed search for an additional cascademore »« less

Hidden Sector Dark Matter Models for the Galactic Center Gamma-Ray Excess

Journal Article Berlin, Asher ; Gratia, Pierre ; Hooper, Dan ; ... - Physical Review D

The gamma-ray excess observed from the Galactic Center can be interpreted as dark matter particles annihilating into Standard Model fermions with a cross section near that expected for a thermal relic. Although many particle physics models have been shown to be able to account for this signal, the fact that this particle has not yet been observed in direct detection experiments somewhat restricts the nature of its interactions. One way to suppress the dark matter's elastic scattering cross section with nuclei is to consider models in which the dark matter is part of a hidden sector. In such models, themore »« less
