Dark Matter in Supersymmetry

Abstract

Supersymmetry is a well-motivated theory for physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, supersymmetric models can naturally possess dark matter candidates that can give rise to the measured dark matter content of the universe. We review several models that have been analyzed with regard to dark matter by groups based in Spain in recent years. These models include, in particular, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and the ‘μ from ν’ Supersymmetric Standard Model (μνSSM) in various versions.
