PT Journal AU Barenboim, G Panotopoulos, G TI Direct neutralino searches in the NMSSM with gravitino LSP in the degenerate scenario SO Journal of High Energy Physics JI J. High Energy Phys. PY 2011 BP 027 EP 16pp VL 08 IS 8 DI 10.1007/JHEP08(2011)027 LA English DE Beyond Standard Model; Cosmology of Theories beyond the SM; Supersymmetric Standard Model AB In the present work a two-component dark matter model is studied adopting the degenerate scenario in the R-parity conserving NMSSM. The gravitino LSP and the neutralino NLSP are extremely degenerate in mass, avoiding the BBN bounds and obtaining a high reheating temperature for thermal leptogenesis. In this model both gravitino (absolutely stable) and neutralino (quasi-stable) contribute to dark matter, and direct detection searches for neutralino are discussed. Points that survive all the constraints correspond to a singlino-like neutralino. ER
