Overview of Supersymmetry and Dark Matter John Ellis King’s College London (& CERN)
Strange Recipe for a Universe The ‘Standard Model’ of the Universe indicated by astrophysics and cosmology
Relic Density Calculation Freeze-out from thermal equilibrium Typical annihilation cross section ~ 3 ✕ 10-26 cm2 Lower if coannihilation with related particles
300,000 years Formation of atoms Formation of nuclei 3 minutes Formation of protons & neutrons 1 micro- second Appearance of dark matter? 1 pico- second Appearance of mass? Appearance of matter?
Classic Dark Matter Signature Missing transverse energy carried away by dark matter particles
Supersymmetry What else is there? Successful prediction for Higgs mass Should be < 130 GeV in simple models Successful predictions for Higgs couplings Should be within few % of SM values Could explain the dark matter Naturalness, GUTs, string, … (???)
Higgs Bosons in Supersymmetry Need 2 complex Higgs doublets (cancel anomalies, form of SUSY couplings) 8 – 3 = 5 physical Higgs bosons Scalars h, H; pseudoscalar A; charged H± Lightest Higgs < MZ at tree level: Important radiative corrections to mass: ΔMH|TH ~ 1.5 GeV
MSSM Higgs Masses & Couplings Lightest Higgs mass up to ~ 130 GeV Heavy Higgs masses quite close Consistent With LHC
Supersymmetric Higgs Couplings Very similar to those in the SM Present data do not constrain supersymmetric models Need future collider to distinguish H to WW
