Big-bang nucleosynthesis and the relic abundance of dark matter in a stau-neutralino coannihilation scenario

A scenario of the Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis is analyzed within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model which is consistent with a stau-neutralino coannihilation scenario to explain the relic abundance of dark matter. We find that we can account for the possible descrepancy of the abundance of $\mathrm{^{7}Li}$ between the observation and the prediction of the Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis by taking the mass of the neutralino as $300 \mathrm{GeV}$ and the mass difference between the stau and the neutralino as $(100 -- 120) MeV$. We can therefore simultaneously explain the abundance of the dark matter and that of $\mathrm{^{7}Li}$ by these values of parameters. The lifetime of staus in this scena…

Long-Lived Slepton in the Coannihilation Region and Measurement of Lepton Flavour Violation at LHC

When the mass difference between the lightest slepton and the lightest neutralino is smaller than the tau mass, the lifetime of the lightest slepton in the constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) increases in many orders of magnitude with respect to typical lifetimes of other supersymmetric particles. In a general MSSM, the lifetime of the lightest slepton is inversely proportional to the square of the intergenerational mixing in the slepton mass matrices. Such a long-lived slepton would produce a distinctive signature at LHC and a measurement of its lifetime would be relatively simple. Therefore, the long-lived slepton scenario offers an excellent opportunity to study lept…

Correlation between flavour violating decay of long-lived slepton and tau in the coannihilation scenario with Seesaw mechanism

We investigate flavour violating decays of the long-lived lightest slepton and the tau lepton in the coannihilation region of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with a Seesaw mechanism to generate neutrino masses. We consider a situation where the mass difference between the lightest neutralino, as the Lightest Supersymmetric particle (LSP), and the lightest slepton, as the Next-to-LSP, is smaller than the mass of tau lepton. In this situation, the lifetime of the lightest slepton is very long and it is determined by lepton flavour violating (LFV) couplings because the slepton mainly consists of the lighter stau and the flavour conserving 2-body decay is kinematically forbidden. We s…

Measuring lepton flavor violation at LHC with a long-lived slepton in the coannihilation region

When the mass difference between the lightest slepton, the NLSP, and the lightest neutralino, the LSP, is smaller than the tau mass, the lifetime of the lightest slepton increases in many orders of magnitude with respect to typical lifetimes of other supersymmetric particles. These small mass differences are possible in the MSSM and, for instance, they correspond to the coannihilation region of the CMSSM for $M_{1/2} \gsim 700$ GeV. In a general gravity-mediated MSSM, where the lightest supersymmetric particle is the neutralino, the lifetime of the lightest slepton is inversely proportional to the square of the intergenerational mixing in the slepton mass matrices. Such a long-lived slepton…

GAUGE-HIGGS UNIFICATION MODELS WITH COSET SPACE DIMENSIONAL REDUCTION SCHEME

We investigate the gauge-Higgs unification models within the scheme of the coset space dimensional reduction, beginning with two types of set up; fourteen-dimensional gauge theory with simple gauge groups and ten-dimensional gauge theory with direct product gauge groups. We found some phenomenologically acceptable models through an exhaustive search for the candidates of the coset spaces, the gauge group in higher dimension, and fermion representation.

Cosmological promising parameters of stau in the minimal supersymmetric standard model

We find that we can account for the possible descrepancy of the primordial abundance of 7 Li between the observation and the prediction of the Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis in a scenario of the Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis with the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. This scenario is consistent with a stau-neutralino coannihilation scenario to explain the relic abundance of dark matter. The solution to the discrepancy is given by taking the values of parameters; the mass of the neutralino as 300 GeV and the mass difference between the stau and the neutralino as (100 – 120) MeV.
