We present a detailed study of this kind of scenario in the context of an R-parity violating realization of the minimal supersymmetric standard model in which the baryon asymmetry and the gravitino dark matter are produced by the decay of a Bino. A quantitative determination, in a realistic particle physics framework, of these two quantities is quite involving, due to the non trivial determination of the abundance of the decaying Bino, as well as due to the impact of wash-out processes and of additional sources both for the baryon asymmetry and the DM relic density. To achieve a quantitative determination of the baryon and dark matter abundances, we have implemented and solved a system of coupled Boltzmann equations for the particle species involved in their generation, including all the relevant processes. In the most simple, but still general, limit, in which the processes determining the abundance and the decay rate of the Bino are mediated by degenerate right-handed squarks, the correct values of the dark matter and baryon relic densities are achieved for a Bino mass between 50 and 100 TeV, Gluino next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle mass in the range 15-60 TeV, and a gravitino mass between 100 GeV and few TeV. These high masses are unfortunately beyond the kinematical reach of the LHC. On the contrary, an antiproton signal from the decays of the gravitino lightest supersymmetric particle might be within the sensibility of AMS-02 and gamma-ray telescopes."],["dc.description.sponsorship","European Union [PITNGA-2011-289442]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1103/PhysRevD.92.115006"],["dc.identifier.isi","000366096200005"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/35145"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Physical Soc"],["dc.relation.issn","2470-0029"],["dc.relation.issn","2470-0010"],["dc.title","Gravitino dark matter and low-scale baryogenesis"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

It focuses mostly on European efforts, both current and planned, but does it within a broader context of a worldwide activity in the field. It aims at identifying the virtues, opportunities and challenges associated with the different experimental approaches and search techniques. It presents scientific and technological synergies, both ex- isting and emerging, with some other areas of particle physics, notably collider and neutrino programmes, and beyond. It addresses the issue of infrastructure in light of the growing needs and challenges of the different experimental searches. Finally, the Report makes a number of recommendations from the perspective of a long-term future of the field. They are introduced, along with some justification, in the opening Overview and Recommendations section and are next summarised at the end of the Report. Overall, we recommend that the direct search for dark matter particle interactions with a detector target should be given top priority in astroparticle physics, and in all particle physics, and beyond, as a positive measurement will provide the most unambiguous confirmation of the particle nature of dark matter in the Universe."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1088/1361-6633/ac5754"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/106008"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-530"],["dc.relation.eissn","1361-6633"],["dc.relation.issn","0034-4885"],["dc.title","Direct Detection of Dark Matter – APPEC Committee Report "],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

One particularly very well known candidate of this type is the gravitino, but also other well-motivated particles are the axino, a sterile neutrino or a particle of the hidden sector with GUT suppressed interaction with normal matter, etc. These candidates have a very different phenomenology than candidates of the weakly interacting type, i.e. WIMPs (Weakly-Interacting Massive Particles), but they can still be produced in cosmology in sufficient number to provide the measured Dark Matter density. Moreover, if they are connected to a larger sector of SM-charged new particles, like in the case of supersymmetric models, they can provide interesting alternative signatures at colliders.
