  "abstract": "In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with heavy sfermions, a sub-hundred-GeV Bino-like neutralino can thermally achieve the observed dark matter abundance only through $h$- or $Z$-resonant annihilation. Since the couplings governing these resonances simultaneously determine the spin-independent and spin-dependent scattering off nucleons, reproducing the relic density imposes irreducible lower envelopes on the scattering cross sections. We evaluate these bounds including the complete one-loop corrections to these vertices, which enhance the direct-detection rates by up to $50\\%$ and $30\\%$, respectively, adopt the FLAG-2024 nucleon matrix elements with their most adverse $3σ$ shifts, and confront the predictions with a likelihood-based recast of the LZ data. We find that the LZ-2024 results exclude both resonant scenarios at conservative one-sided significances exceeding $5.9σ$ and $4.1σ$, respectively, irrespective of whether the neutralino constitutes all or only part of the dark matter, and independently of LHC electroweakino searches.",
