Supersymmetric Dark Matter Sectors

Understand

We investigate the properties of a dark matter sector where supersymmetry is a good symmetry.

• In this context we find that the stability of the dark matter candidate is possible even when R-parity is broken in the visible sector.
• In order to illustrate the idea we investigate a simple scenario where the dark matter candidate is the lightest scalar field in the dark sector which annihilates mainly into two sfermions when these channels are available.
• We study the relic density constraints and the predictions for the dark matter detection experiments.
