Abstract

In the conventional cosmology masses of the stable supersymmetric relics, candidates for the dark matter (DM) particles, should be typically below 1 TeV. This is in conflict with the LHC bounds on the low energy SUSY. However, in $$R^{2}$$ -gravity the masses of the stable particles with the interaction strength typical for SUSY could be much higher depending upon the dominant decay mode of the scalaron. We discuss the bounds on the masses of DM particles for the following dominant decay modes: to minimally coupled massless scalars, to massive fermions, and to gauge bosons.
