Journal of High Energy Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We identify within the SU(5) framework the minimum number of soft supersymmetry breaking parameters which can yield a bottom squark (sbottom) as the next to lightest supersymmetric particle. We focus in particular on the neutralino-sbottom coannihilation scenario which gives rise to the desired neutralino dark matter relic density. We find solutions in which the sbottom mass is greater than or of order 210 GeV, while the gluino and the first two family squarks are heavier than 1 TeV. Some benchmark points which can be tested at the LHC are presented.
