Precise Prediction of the Dark Matter Relic Density within the MSSM
@inproceedings{Harz2015PrecisePO, title={Precise Prediction of the Dark Matter Relic Density within the MSSM}, author={Julia Harz and B. Herrmann and Michael Klasen and Karel Kov{\'a}ř{\'i}k and Patrick Steppeler}, year={2015} }
With the latest Planck results the dark matter relic density is determined to
an unprecedented precision. In order to reduce current theoretical
uncertainties in the dark matter relic density prediction, we have calculated
next-to-leading order SUSY-QCD corrections to neutralino (co)annihilation
processes including Coulomb enhancement effects. We demonstrate that these
corrections can have significant impact on the cosmologically favoured MSSM
parameter space and are thus of general interest…

The pMSSM10 is able to provide a supersymmetric interpretation of (g-2)_\mu $$(g- 2)μ, unlike the CMSSM, N UHM1 and NUHM2, and shows that the cold dark matter density and the XENON100 and LUX searches for spin-independent dark matter scattering are mainly provided by the lightest neutralino.
