SUSY under siege from direct and indirect WIMP detection experiments

Understand

We examine updated prospects for detecting WIMPs in supersymmetric models via direct and indirect dark matter search experiments.

• We examine several historical and also still viable scenarios: projections for well-tempered neutralinos (WTN), projections from the MasterCode (MC), BayesFits (BF) and Fittino (FO) collaborations, non-thermal wino dark matter (NThW) and finally mixed axion-higgsino dark matter from SUSY with radiatively-driven naturalness (RNS).
• The WTN is ruled out by recent limits from XENON and LUX collaborations.
• The NThW scenario, previously on tenuous ground due to gamma-line searches, appears also ruled out by recent combined Fermi-LAT/MAGIC limits combined with new HESS results from continuum gamma rays.
