Research Abstract |
We proposed a new scenario that can simultaneously explain the abundance of the dark matter and the deficit of the primordial lithium 7. Assuming the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), we calculated the number of negatively-charged staus, which play a key role in our scenario to solve the two problems, in the early universe with the aid of Boltzmann equations. We also accounted for the two processes that have not been included so far: the spallation processes of helium 4 nuclei due to their interaction with staus, and the interactions that does not conserve the lepton flavor of staus. We found that a parameter region exists that simultaneously solves both problems. The region is small; this scenario gives a strong constraint to the MSSM. In relation, we proposed a new process to searchfor the lepton flavor violation.
