Probing gaugino coannihilation with displaced vertex searches
Bino-like dark matter in supersymmetric theories tends to suffer from
over-production. This problem can be evaded if there is another gaugino which
has a mass close to the bino mass so that it enhances the annihilation rate of
bino dark matter through coannihilation. We study such possibilities in
high-scale supersymmetric models, and show that searches for long-lived
particles with displaced vertices can test the bino-gaugino coannihilation
scenario in the forthcoming LHC experiments.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures; the 11th International Workshop Dark Side of the
