Abstract

We show that mostly right-handed Dirac sneutrino is a viable supersymmetric light dark matter candidate. While the Dirac sneutrino scattering with nuclei is dominantly through the $Z$ boson exchange and is stringently constrained by the invisible decay width of $Z$ boson, it is possible to realize a large enough cross section with nucleon to account for possible signals observed at direct dark matter searches such as CDMS II-Si or CoGeNT. Even if the XENON100 limit is taken into account, a small part of signal region for CDMS II-Si events remains outside the excluded region by XENON100.
