Abstract

We will consider a SUSY-SU(5) with one right-handed neutrino with a large top like Yukawa coupling. Assuming universal soft masses at high scale we compute the low-energy spectrum and subsequently the neutralino LSP relic density taking also into consideration SU(5) as well as the see-saw running effects above the gauge coupling unification scale. We found that there exists no viable region in parameter space for tanβ\ler 35\tan\beta \ler ~35. The τ~\tilde{\tau} coannihilation process starts becoming efficient for tanβ\ger3540\tan\beta \ger 35-40. However, this process is significantly constrained by the limited range in which the stau is lighter than the neutralino. In fact, for a given tanβ\tan\beta we find that there exists an upper bound on the lightest neutralino mass (Mχ10M_{\chi_1^0}) in this region. The A-pole funnel region appears at very large tanβ4550\tan\beta \simeq 45-50, while the focus-point region does not make an appearance till large (m0,M1/2m_0,M_{1/2}), namely a few TeV. Large A0A_0 terms at high scale can lead to extended regions consistent with WMAP constraints and remove the upper bounds in the stau coannihilation regions.
