Can it be one of the known particles?
5CDM in The Standard Model?
The Standard Model (SM) describes all these
particles and 3 of 4 forces. We have confirmed
the existence of those in the laboratory
experiments.
6No!
Quarks, electron, muon, tau particles, and force
carriers can not be the dark matter, since their
interactions are stronger than what we
expect. Neutrinos can, but they are too light!

We need new idea, based on a new symmetry.
Supersymmetry or SUSY
7New Model
- The Standard Model
- Cannot provide a dark matter candidate.
- Has a serious Higgs mass divergence problem due
to quantum correction. - Cannot accommodate masses for neutrinos.
- Cannot provide enough matter-antimatter
asymmetry. - ?Standard Model has fallen!
- Supersymmetry
- Provides a candidate for dark matter
neutralino. - Solves the Higgs mass problem in a very elegant
way. - Supersymmetric grand unified models include
neutrinos! - Dutta, Mimura, Moahapatra, PRL 96,

8Higgs and Fermion Masses
- 1 The Higgs Mass (Mh) has the following bounds
- 114 GeV lt Mh lt 182 GeV in the SM
- 114 GeV lt Mh lt 150 GeV in minimal SUSY model
- Tevatron and/or LHC will probe this Higgs mass.
- 2 In SM, there also exists a tremendous
hierarchy among the fermion masses, e.g.,
mt/me105. - ? Attempts are being made to understand the
origin of these hierarchies in the context of
string motivated SUSY models.

25First Analysis at the LHC
Kinematical Cuts to Establish SUSY
- PTj1 gt 100 GeV, PTj2,3,4 gt 50 GeV
- Meff gt 400 GeV (Meff is a scalar sum of
PTj1,2,3,4 and PTmiss) - PTmiss gt max 100, 0.2 Meff
Hinchliffe, Paige, Phys. Rev. D 55 (1997) 5520

combining the final state particles

26Meff and Relic Density
SUSY scale is measured with an accuracy of 10-20
- This measurement does not tell us whether the
model can generate the right amount of dark
matter - The dark matter content is measured to be 23
with an accuracy of around 3 at WMAP
How can we establish the dark matter allowed
regions?
To what accuracy can we calculate the relic
density based on the measurements at the LHC?

31Five Observables
- Sort ts by ET (ET1 gt ET2 gt )
- Use OS-LS method to extract t pairs from the
decays
SMSUSY Background gets reduced
- Ditau invariant mass Mtt
- Jet-t-t invariant mass Mjtt
- Jet-t invariant mass Mjt
- PT of the low energy t
- Meff 4 jets missing energy
- Meff (b) 4 jets (leading jet is a b quark)
missing energy
All these variables depend on masses gt model
parameters
Since we are using 6 variables, we can measure
the model parameters and the grand unified scale
symmetry (a major ingredient of this model)
32How to Establish the Discovery
- Phys. Lett. B 639 (2006) 46 Phys. Lett. B 649
(2007) 73 arXiv0802.2968 - 1 Low energy ts are crucial to discover the DM
allowed region. - 2 We construct different observables involving
these ts. - 3 We study Mjtt, Mtt etc distributions and
their properties - e.g., Peak(Mtt) f (Msquark, Mstau, M , M
) - 4 Squark and stau masses can be expressed in
terms of m0, m1/2, A0, tanb. Note our observables
are not that sensitive to A0 and tanb in the dark
matter allowed region - 5 We use these observables to solve for m0 ,
m1/2, A0, tanb - 6 We can now calculate the dark matter content
33Dark Matter at TAMU
Kamon, Safonov, and Toback will use the path to
accurately measure the model parameters from the
detailed features of the signals (real data) when
the LHC will start.
Synergism between the theorists and the
experimentalists
We then calculate the relic density and compare
with WMAP.
34Determining Model Parameters
The Model parameters are solved by inverting the
following functions
(in GeV)
35GUT Scale Symmetry
We can also probe the physics at the Grand
unified theory (GUT) scale
Use the masses measured at the LHC and evolve
them to the GUT scale using mSUGRA
The masses , , unify at the grand
unified scale in SUGRA models
We can measure this unification to an accuracy of
lt5
Another evidence of a symmetry at the grand
unifying scale!
36Relic Density and Luminosity
- How does the uncertainty in the Dark
- Matter relic density change with Luminosity?
37DM Particle Direct Detection?
The measurement at the LHC will pinpoint the
parameters of SUSY models. We can predict the
direct detection probability of dark matter
particles.

40Conclusion
- SM of particle physics has fallen.
- Supersymmetry seems to be natural in the rescue
act and the dark matter content of the universe
can be explained in this theory. - The minimal SUGRA model is consistent with the
existing experimental results. - 1 LHC can probe the minimal SUGRA model
directly. - The dark matter content can be measured with a
high accuracy . - 2 Direct detection experiments will
simultaneously confirm the existence of these
models. - 3 Future international linear collider will
shed further light!
