Description

We will consider a SUSY-$SU(5)$ with one right-handed neutrino with a large top like Yukawa coupling. Assuming universal soft masses at high scale we compute the low-energy spectrum and subsequently the neutralino LSP relic density taking also into consideration $SU(5)$ as well as the see-saw running effects above the gauge coupling unification scale. We found that there exists no viable region in parameter space for $\tan\beta~\ler ~35$. The $\tilde{\tau}$ coannihilation process starts becoming efficient for $\tan\beta~\ger~35-40$. However, unlike in mSUGRA, this process is significantly constrained by the limited range in which the stau is lighter than the neutralino. In fact, for a given $\tan\beta$ we find that there exists an upper bound on the lightest neutralino mass ($M_{\chi_1^0}$) in this region. The A-pole funnel region appears at very large $\tan\beta~\sim 45-50$, while the focus-point region does not make an appearance till large ($m_0,M_{1/2})\sim$ a few TeV. Large $A_0$ terms at high scale can lead to extended regions consistent with WMAP constraints and remove the upper bounds in the stau coannihilation regions.
