アブストラクト: We study an extention of the MSSM with a singlet S with coupling S H1 H2 in order to solve the mu problem as in the NMSSM, and right-handed neutrino N with coupling SNN in order to generate dynamically elecro-weak scale Majorana neutrino masses. We show how in this model a purely right-handed sneutrino can be a viable candidate for cold dark matter in the Universe. Through the direct coupling to the singlet, the sneutrino can not only be thermal relic dark matter but also have a large enough scattering cross section with nuclei to detect it directly in near future, in contrast with most of other right-handed sneutrino dark matter models.
