Description:
We perform a likelihood analysis of the constraints from accelerator experiments and astrophysical observations on supersymmetric (SUSY) models with SU(5) boundary conditions on soft SUSY-breaking parameters at the GUT scale. The parameter space of the models studied has seven parameters: a universal gaugino mass \(m_{1/2}\) , distinct masses for the scalar partners of matter fermions in five- and ten-dimensional representations of SU(5), \(m_5\) and \(m_{10}\) , and for the \(\mathbf {5}\) and \({\bar{\mathbf{5}}}\) Higgs representations \(m_{H_u}\) and \(m_{H_d}\) , a universal trilinear soft SUSY-breaking parameter \(A_0\) , and the ratio of Higgs vevs \(\tan \beta \) . In addition to previous constraints from direct sparticle searches, low-energy and flavour observables, we incorporate constraints based on preliminary results from 13 TeV LHC searches for jets + events and long-lived particles, as well as the latest PandaX-II and LUX searches for direct Dark Matter detection. In addition to previously identified mechanisms for bringing the supersymmetric relic density into the range allowed by cosmology, we identify a novel \({\tilde{u}_R}/{\tilde{c}_R} - \tilde{\chi }^{0}_{1}\) coannihilation mechanism that appears in the supersymmetric SU(5) GUT model and discuss the role of \({{\tilde{\nu }}_\tau }\) coannihilation. We find complementarity between the prospects for direct Dark Matter detection and SUSY searches at the LHC.
