Abstract

The minimal supergravity (mSUGRA or CMSSM) model is an oft-used frame- work for exhibiting the properties of neutralino (WIMP) cold dark matter (CDM). How- ever, the recent evidence from Atlas and CMS on a light Higgs scalar with mass \( {m_h} \simeq 125 \) GeV highly constrains the superparticle mass spectrum, which in turn constrains the neutralino annihilation mechanisms in the early universe. We find that stau and stop co-annihilation mechanisms — already highly stressed by the latest Atlas/CMS re- sults on SUSY searches — are nearly eliminated if indeed the light Higgs scalar has mass \( {m_h} \simeq 125 \) GeV. Furthermore, neutralino annihilation via the A-resonance is nearly ruled out in mSUGRA so that it is exceedingly difficult to generate thermally-produced neutralino-only dark matter at the measured abundance. The remaining possibility lies in the focus-point region which now moves out to \( {m_0} \sim 10 - 20 \) TeV range due to the required large trilinear soft SUSY breaking term A0. The remaining HB/FP region is more fine-tuned than before owing to the typically large top squark masses. We present updated direct and indirect detection rates for neutralino dark matter, and show that ton scale noble liquid detectors will either discover mixed higgsino CDM or essentially rule out thermally-produced neutralino-only CDM in the mSUGRA model.
