Supersymmetric Dark Matter after Run I at the LHC: From a TeV to a PeV

Abstract

The absence of low energy supersymmetry in run I data at the LHC has pushed the nominal scale for supersymmetry beyond a TeV. While this is consistent with the discovery of the Higgs boson at \approx 125 GeV, simple models with scalar and gaugino mass universality are being pushed into corners of parameter space. Some possibilities within the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (with four parameters) are discussed along with a one parameter extension in which the Higgs soft masses are non-universal. Also discussed are 2-, 3-, and 4-parameter versions of pure gravity mediated models with a wino, Higgsino, or bino LSP respectively.
