Abstract
Taking into account the available accelerator and astrophysical constraints, the mass of the lightest neutral Higgs boson h in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with universal soft supersymmetry-breaking masses (CMSSM) has been estimated to lie between 114 and ∼130 GeV. Recent data from ATLAS and CMS hint that m h ∼125 GeV, though m h ∼119 GeV may still be a possibility. Here we study the consequences for the parameters of the CMSSM and direct dark matter detection if the Higgs hint is confirmed, focusing on the strips in the (m 1/2,m 0) planes for different tanβ and A 0 where the relic density of the lightest neutralino χ falls within the range of the cosmological cold dark matter density allowed by WMAP and other experiments. We find that if m h ∼125 GeV focus-point strips would be disfavoured, as would the low-tanβ \({\tilde{\tau}}\)–χ and \({\tilde{t}}_{1} \)–χ coannihilation strips, whereas the \({\tilde{\tau}}\)–χ coannihilation strip at large tanβ and A 0>0 would be favoured, together with its extension to a funnel where rapid annihilation via direct-channel H/A poles dominates. On the other hand, if m h ∼119 GeV more options would be open. We give parameterisations of WMAP strips with large tanβ and fixed A 0/m 0>0 that include portions compatible with m h =125 GeV, and present predictions for spin-independent elastic dark matter scattering along these strips. These are generally low for models compatible with m h =125 GeV, whereas the XENON100 experiment already excludes some portions of strips where m h is smaller.

Notes
As already mentioned, we focus here on μ>0. This assumption was motivated in the past by indications from g μ −2 and the desire to avoid strong constraints from b→sγ [92–97], but should perhaps be reviewed now in light of the growing tension between LHC missing-energy constraints [90, 91] and g μ −2 [98, 99].
The true WMAP strips corresponding to Ω χ h 2=0.112±0.012 [50] at the 2σ level are often invisibly narrow. Accordingly, in these and most subsequent figure panels, the WMAP strips have been made more visible by colouring regions where 0.05<Ω χ h 2<0.15.
Also visible in these panels between m 1/2∼1000 GeV and ∼1500 GeV is another WMAP-compatible strip running roughly parallel to the \({\tilde{\tau}}_{1} \)–χ coannihilation strip, which is due to rapid \({\tilde{\tau}}_{1} \)–\({\bar{\tilde{\tau}}_{1}}\) annihilation through direct-channel H/A poles.
These funnels have been coloured only in the range Ω χ h 2=0.112±0.012 allowed by WMAP at the 2σ level.
See [65] for a discussion of the uncertainty in this parameter.
This connection is only qualitative, since the processes dominating t-channel exchange are not identical with the processes dominating s-channel annihilation, and the cosmological annihilations involve a mixture of P- and S-wave annihilations.
