Right-handed sneutrino and gravitino multicomponent dark matter in light of neutrino detectors
We investigate the possibility that right-handed (RH) sneutrinos and gravitinos can coexist and explain the dark matter (DM) problem. We compare extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and the next-to-MSSM (NMSSM) adding RH neutrinos superfields, with special emphasis on the l...

Zusammenfassung: | We investigate the possibility that right-handed (RH) sneutrinos and gravitinos can coexist and explain the dark matter (DM) problem. We compare extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and the next-to-MSSM (NMSSM) adding RH neutrinos superfields, with special emphasis on the latter. If the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and the RH sneutrino the next-to-LSP (NLSP), the heavier particle decays to the former plus left-handed (LH) neutrinos through the mixing between the scalar partners of the LH and RH neutrinos.
However, the interaction is suppressed by the Planck mass, and if the LH-RH sneutrino mixing parameter is small, ≪
O
(10
-2
), a long-lived RH sneutrino NLSP is possible even surpassing the age of the Universe.
As a byproduct, the NLSP to LSP decay produces monochromatic neutrinos in the ballpark of current and planned neutrino telescopes like Super-Kamiokande, IceCube and Antares that we use to set constraints and show prospects of detection.
In the NMSSM+RHN, assuming a gluino mass parameter
M

= 3 TeV we found the following lower limits for the gravitino mass
m
3/2
≳ 1-600 GeV and the reheating temperature
T
R
≳ 10

- 3 × 10

GeV, for

R

M

= 10 TeV, then the limits on
T
R
are relaxed by one order of magnitude. |
