Dark Matter in SuperGUT Unification Models

  • 1. William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455 (United States)

Description

After a brief update on the prospects for dark matter in the constrained version of the MSSM (CMSSM) and its differences with models based on minimal supergravity (mSUGRA), I will consider the effects of unifying the supersymmetry-breaking parameters at a scale above MGUT . One of the consequences of superGUT unification, is the ability to take vanishing scalar masses at the unification scale with a neutralino LSP dark matter candidate. This allows one to resurrect no-scale supergravity as a viable phenomenological model.
