SuperIso Relic v4: A program for calculating dark matter and flavour physics observables in supersymmetry

Abstract

We describe SuperIso Relic, a public program for the calculation of dark matter relic density and direct and indirect detection rates, which includes in addition the SuperIso routines for the calculation of flavour physics observables. SuperIso Relic v4 incorporates many new features, namely the possibility of parallel calculation of the relic density, new cosmological models, and the implementations of the calculation of the observables related to direct and indirect detection experiments. Furthermore, with the new version it is possible to evaluate straightforwardly the nuclear and astrophysical uncertainties, from namely nuclear form factors, dark matter density and velocity, as well as cosmic ray propagation through the galactic medium.

Phys. Commun. 181 (2010) 1277Does the new version supersede the previous version: YesReasons for the new version:SuperIso Relic v4 features the calculation of observables related to dark matter direct and indirect detections in supersymmetry.Summary of revisions:•Improvement and parallelisation of the relic density calculation routines.•Implementation of dark matter direct detection constraints.•Implementation of dark matter indirect detection constraints for gamma-rays and antiprotons.•Addition of new cosmological scenarios.Nature of problem: Calculation of dark matter observables for the lightest supersymmetric particle, as well as flavour physics observables.Solution method:SuperIso Relic computes the annihilation and co-annihilation amplitudes of two supersymmetric particles into Standard Model particles, which are used for the calculation of dark matter relic density as well as dark matter indirect detection. Different cosmological models are implemented, which can modify the Boltzmann equations. For indirect detection, the observational constraints from AMS-02 and Fermi-LAT are implemented. Dark matter direct detection observables, as well as constraints from PICO60, PANDAX-2 and XENON1T, are also implemented.Unusual features: The relic density routines are parallelised and use the OpenMP library.
