Probing GeV-scale MSSM neutralino dark matter in collider and direct detection experiments
Given the recent constraints from the dark matter (DM) direct detections, we
examine a light GeV-scale (2-30 GeV) neutralino DM in the alignment limit of
the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In this limit without
decoupling, the heavy CP-even scalar plays the role of the Standard Model
(SM) Higgs boson while the other scalar can be rather light so that the DM
can annihilate through the resonance or into a pair of to achieve the
observed relic density. With the current collider and cosmological constraints,
we find that such a light neutralino DM above 6 GeV can be excluded by the
XENON-1T (2017) limits while the survivied parameter space below 6 GeV can be
fully covered by the future germanium-based light dark matter detections (such
as CDEX), by the Higgs coupling precison measurements or by the production
process at an electron-positron collider (Higgs factory).Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures. Discussions and references added, version
