          Abstract

          We propose a Z_2-stabilised singlino (\bar{\chi}) as a dark matter candidate in extended and R-parity violating versions of the supersymmetric standard model. \bar{\chi} interacts with visible matter via a heavy messenger field S, which results in a supersymmetric version of the Higgs portal interaction. The relic abundance of \bar{\chi} can account for cold dark matter if the messenger mass satisfies M_S \lsim 10^{4} GeV. Our model can be implemented in many realistic supersymmetric models such as the NMSSM and nMSSM.

          Gauge Singlet Scalars as Cold Dark Matter

          In light of recent interest in minimal extensions of the Standard Model and gauge singlet scalar cold dark matter, we provide an arXiv preprint of the paper, published as Phys.Rev. D50 (1994) 3637, which presented the first detailed analysis of gauge singlet scalar cold dark matter.

            Thermally Generated Gauge Singlet Scalars as Self-Interacting Dark Matter

            We show that a gauge singlet scalar S, with a coupling to the Higgs doublet of the form lambda_{S} S^{\dagger}S H^{\dagger}H and with the S mass entirely generated by the Higgs expectation value, has a thermally generated relic density Omega_{S} \approx 0.3 if m_{S} \approx (2.9-10.5)(Omega_{S}/0.3)^{1/5}(h/0.7)^{2/5} MeV for Higgs boson masses in the range 115 GeV to 1 TeV. Remarkably, this is very similar to the range (m_{S} = (6.6-15.4)\eta^{2/3} MeV) required in order for the self-interaction (\eta/4)(S^{\dagger}S)^{2} to account for self-interacting dark matter when \eta is not much smaller than 1. The corresponding coupling is lambda_{S} \approx (2.7 \times 10^{-10} - 3.6 \times 10^{-9})(Omega_{S}/0.3)^{2/5}(h/0.7)^{4/5}, implying that such scalars are very weakly coupled to the Standard Model sector.
