Abstract: (IOP)
We investigate the possibility that right-handed (RH) sneutrinos and gravitinos can coexist and explain the dark matter (DM) problem. We compare extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) and the next-to-MSSM (NMSSM) adding RH neutrinos superfields, with special emphasis on the latter. If the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and the RH sneutrino the next-to-LSP (NLSP), the heavier particle decays to the former plus left-handed (LH) neutrinos through the mixing between the scalar partners of the LH and RH neutrinos.However, the interaction is suppressed by the Planck mass, and if the LH-RH sneutrino mixing parameter is small, ≪ O(10), a long-lived RH sneutrino NLSP is possible even surpassing the age of the Universe.As a byproduct, the NLSP to LSP decay produces monochromatic neutrinos in the ballpark of current and planned neutrino telescopes like Super-Kamiokande, IceCube and Antares that we use to set constraints and show prospects of detection.In the NMSSM+RHN, assuming a gluino mass parameter M = 3 TeV we found the following lower limits for the gravitino mass m ≳ 1-600 GeV and the reheating temperature T ≳ 10 - 3 × 10 GeV, for mν̃R10-800 GeV. If we take M = 10 TeV, then the limits on TR are relaxed by one order of magnitude.Note:
