We investigate dark matter (DM) in the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM). We scan through the MSSM parameter space and search for solutions that (a) are consistent with the Higgs discovery and…
We suggest that supersymmetric dark matter be used to set the energy scale of a linear $e^+ e^-$ collider. Assuming that the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is a stable neutralino $\chi$, as in many incarnations of the MSSM with…
We propose a Two-Loop induced radiative neutrino model with hidden gauged $U(1)$ symmetry, in which a dark matter of Dirac fermion arises. The relic density gets contribution from annihilation and semi-annihilation due to a residual…
Detection of gamma rays from dark matter annihilation in the galactic center is one of the feasible techniques to search for dark matter. We evaluate the gamma ray flux in the case that the dark matter has an electroweak SU(2)_L charge.…
