Abstract
We calculate the likelihood map in the full 7-dimensional parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric standard model assuming universal boundary conditions on the supersymmetry breaking terms. Simultaneous variations of , , , , , and are applied using a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. We use measurements of , and in order to constrain the model. We present likelihood distributions for some of the sparticle masses, for the branching ratio of and for . An upper limit of on this branching ratio might be achieved at the Tevatron, and would rule out of the currently allowed likelihood. If one allows for non-thermal-neutralino components of dark matter, this fraction becomes . The mass ordering allows the important cascade decay with a likelihood of . The stop-coannihilation region is highly disfavored, whereas the light Higgs region is marginally disfavored.
