Higgs Boson Mass and Complex Snuetrino Dark Matter in the Supersymmetric Inverse Seesaw Models

Abstract

The discovery of a relatively heavy Standard Model (SM) -like Higgs boson challenges naturalness of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) from both Higgs and dark matter (DM) sectors. We study these two aspects in the MSSM extended by the low-scale inverse seesaw mechanism. Firstly, it admits a sizable radiative correction on the Higgs boson mass m_h, up to \sim 4 GeV in the case of an IR-fixed point of the coupling Y_\nu LH_u\nu^c and a large sneutrino mixing. Secondly, the lightest sneutrino, highly complex as expected, is a viable thermal DM candidate. Owing to the correct relic density and XENON100, two cases survive: a Higgs-portal complex DM with mass lying around the Higgs pole or above \(W\) threshold, and a coannihilating DM with slim prospect of detection. Given an extra family of sneutrinos, both scenarios naturally work when we attempt to suppress the DM left-handed sneutrino component, confronting with enhancing m_h.
