Direct detection of neutralino dark matter in the NMSSM

  • 1. Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology, University of Durham, DH1 3LE (United States)

Description

The direct detection of neutralino dark matter is analysed in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). Sizable values for the neutralino detection cross section, within the reach of dark matter detectors, are attainable, due to the exchange of very light Higgses, which have a significant singlet composition. The lightest neutralino exhibits a large singlino-Higgsino composition, and a mass in the range 50 ∼< mχ-01 ∼< 100 GeV
