Abstract

The direct detection (DD) of Higgsino-like dark matter (DM) through inelastic scattering processes may provide a promising avenue, along with the elastic scattering, when the mass splitting between the neutral Higgsino pairs is extremely tiny. The mass splitting can be reduced further by adopting the on-shell renormalization for the neutral and charged Higgsinos in the MSSM. Moreover, all the one-loop electroweak (EW) corrections to the three-point vertices for the neutralino(s)-Higgs interactions have been considered, while both elastic and inelastic DM-nucleon scattering cross-sections have been calculated primarily through Higgs exchange. Subsequently, the expected number of scattering events in the latest LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) DD experiment are also computed. Our results highlight a few scenarios in which the inelastic component may exceed the corresponding elastic component, leading to enhanced direct detection scattering rates.
