How light can the lightest neutralino be?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-02-16 v2

Abstract

We show that in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the mass of the lightest neutralino is experimentally unconstrained if the GUT relation between the gaugino mass parameters M_1 and M_2 is dropped. We discuss what the impact of light or massless neutralinos would be on their production at LEP, as well as on electroweak precision data and rare decays.
