The dark-matter prediction is usually considered as one of the successes of low-energy supersymmetry. We argue that, after LEP constraints are taken into account, the correct prediction for the dark-matter density, at a quantitative level, is no longer a natural consequence of supersymmetry, but it requires special relations among parameters, highly sensitive to small variations. This is analogous to the problem of electroweak-symmetry breaking, where the correct value of the Z mass is obtained only with a certain degree of fine tuning. In the general parameter space of low-energy supersymmetry, one of the most plausible solution to reproduce the correct value of the dark-matter density is the well-tempered neutralino, which corresponds to the boundary between a pure Bino and a pure Higgsino or Wino. We study the properties of well-tempered neutralinos and we propose a simple limit of split supersymmetry that realizes this situation.

  1. Can blind spots save neutralino dark matter in natural supersymmetry models?

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Direct-detection blind spots fail to rescue stable light higgsino dark matter in electroweak-natural NUHM2/NUHM3 models once LZ, LHC soft-dilepton, and Higgs-mass constraints are imposed.

  2. Shedding Light on Dark Matter at the LHC with Machine Learning

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A machine-learned LHC analysis projects 5-sigma sensitivity to singlino-dominated NMSSM dark matter via radiative higgsino decays to photons, covering higgsino masses up to 225 GeV.
