Sneutrino dark matter: Symmetry protection and cosmic ray anomalies

Zusammenfassung:We present an R-parity conserving model of sneutrino dark matter within a Higgsphilic U(1){sup '} extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In this theory, the {mu} parameter and light Dirac neutrino masses are generated naturally upon the breaking of the U(1){sup '} gauge symmetry. One of the right-handed sneutrinos is the lightest supersymmetric particle. The leptonic and hadronic decays of another sneutrino, taken to be the next-to-lightest superpartner, allow for a natural fit to the recent results reported by the PAMELA experiment. We perform a detailed calculation of the dark matter relic density in this scenario, and show that the model is consistent with the ATIC and Fermi LAT experiments.
