SUMMARY:Neutralino Dark Matter in the (N)MSSM: Direct/Indirect Detection a

DESCRIPTION:We study the neutralino being the Lightest Supersymmetric Part
 icle (LSP) as a cold Dark Matter (DM) candidate in the framework of the MS
 SM and the NMSSM. We present a comprehensive study on the properties of vi
 able solutions and point out their immediate relevance to the experiments 
 of the underground direct detection such as superCDMS and LUX/LZ\, and the
  astro-physical indirect search such as Fermi-LAT. For light DM (<40 GeV)\
 , we also find that the decays of the SM-like Higgs boson may be modified 
 appreciably and the new decay channels to the light SUSY particles may be 
 sizable. The new light CP-even and CP-odd Higgs bosons will decay to a pai
 r of LSPs as well as other observable final states\, leading to interestin
 g new Higgs phenomenology at colliders. For the light sfermion searches\, 
 the signals would be very challenging to observe at the LHC given the curr
 ent bounds. However\, a high energy and high luminosity lepton collider\, 
 such as the ILC\, would be able to fully cover these scenarios by searchin
 g for events with large missing energy plus charged tracks or displaced ve
 rtices.
