Description
Knowing the Higgs boson mass, along with precision measurements of
the dark
matter relic density, motivates a fresh look at the CMSSM/mSUGRA
supersymmetry
breaking boundary conditions. Four real parameters determine the
superpartner
spectrum. Various “continents” consisting of non-excluded models can be
catego-
rized by their dark matter dynamics. The following mechanisms manifest:
well-
tempering, resonant pseudo-scalar Higgs annihilation, neutralino/stau
coannihila-
tions and neutralino/stop coannihilations. Benchmark models are provided
which
characterize the viable regions. The expected visible signals of each are
described,
With an emphasis on the direct and indirect detection of dark matter. The
parameter space
spans a finite volume, which can be probed in its entirety utilizing
“human-buildable”
Experiments.
