A Sneutrino NLSP in the $\nu$CMSSM

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-04-21 v3

Abstract

We extend the constrained minimal supersymmetric model (CMSSM) by adding a right-handed neutrino superfield (ν\nuCMSSM) which decouples close to the GUT scale. We study the effects of a right-handed neutrino on the low energy spectrum and focus on the predictions for dark matter properties. We pay particular attention to the realization of the light (left-handed) sneutrino which can be the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) with either the neutralino or gravitino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). Notably, for the case of a neutralino LSP with a sneutrino NLSP, there are new `sneutrino coannihilation regions' which yield the desired thermal neutralino relic density determined by WMAP.
