41 HIGGSINO RATE AT LL 1 TeV higgsino needs proper treatment of endpoint region Minimally split Higgsino.* Purest viable doublet *Cheung et al: hep-ph: ΔΜ0= 200 kev; ΔΜ+= 350 MeV Thermal Higgsino unconstrained by current/future tests 41 ΔΜ0= 2 GeV; ΔΜ+= 480 MeV MB, Vaidya, V.:

42 CONCLUSION Despite simple model and straightforward experiment, proper calculation has rich theoretical structure EFT combines NRQCD, SCET-1, SCET-II, and SCET + (collinear-soft mode) Techniques generic for WIMPs coupled to lighter states (other representations of electroweak group, e.g. 5 of 9 TeV IN PROGRESS!) Put in next set of corrections, Log(1-z) and Log(M χ /m W ) IN PROGRESS! Test alternate simple model, Higgs portal that requires electroweak resummation (χ 2 )(h 2 ) IN PROGRESS! Wino is in tension with Milky Way like simulations, new data on the way (VERITAS, HESS, CTA, WFIRST, LSST, GAIA) HESS projected improvement by 5x, pushing core out to 9kpc! Can anyone find the higgsino, the most elusive motivated particle in high energy physics? NEXT UP AFTER CURRENT PAPERS ARE OUT

43 WINO VIABILITY Initial motivation for Wino stressed its simplicity, but perhaps its role in Dark Matter is more involved, including a non-thermal history, multi-component DM, mixing with other electroweak states Inconsistent with Simulation Imposing a constant density below a given radius for NFW (core), at what point does wino become viable total DM? Possibility for the wino to make up some fraction of DM with NFW profile flattened to a constant core at some radius 43 *MB, Rothstein, I., Vaidya, V.:
