Natural minimal dark matter

Understand

We show how the Higgs boson mass is protected from the potentially large corrections due to the introduction of minimal dark matter if the new physics sector is made supersymmetric.

• The fermionic dark matter candidate (a 5-plet of $SU(2)_L$) is accompanied by a scalar state.
• The weak gauge sector is made supersymmetric and the Higgs boson is embedded in a supersymmetric multiplet.
• The remaining standard model states are non-supersymmetric.
