Recent data from CoGeNT and DAMA are roughly consistent with a very light dark matter particle with $msim 4-10gev$ and spin-independent cross section of order $sigma_{SI} sim (1-3)times 10^{-4}pb$. An important question is whether these observations are compatible with supersymmetric models obeying $Omega h^2sim 0.11$ without violating existing collider constraints and precision measurements. In this talk, I review the fact the the Minimal Supersymmetric Model allows insufficient flexibility to achieve such compatibility, basically because of the highly constrained nature of the MSSM Higgs sector in relation to LEP limits on Higgs bosons. I then outline the manner in which the more flexible Higgs sectors of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Model and an Extended Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Model allow large $sigma_{SI}$ and $Omega h^2sim 0.11$ at low LSP mass without violating LEP, Tevatron, BaBar and other experimental limits. The relationship of the required Higgs sectors to the NMSSM ideal-Higgs scenarios is discussed.

We assess the extent to which the NMSSM can allow for light dark matter in the $2gevlsim mcnonelsim 12gev$ mass range with correct relic density and large spin-independent direct-detection cross section, $sigsi$, in the range suggested by cogent and DAMA. For standard assumptions regarding nucleon $s$-quark content and cosmological relic density, $rho$, we find that the NMSSM falls short by a factor of about 10 to 15 (3 to 5) without (with) significant violation of the current $(g-2)_mu$ constraints.
We try to interpret a very light dark matter with mass of 5~10 GeV which is in favor of the recent experiments reported by CoGeNT and DAMA, in a non-supersymmetric extension of radiative seesaw model with a family symmetry D_6 x Z_2 x Z_2. We show th at a D_6 singlet real scalar field can be a promising dark matter candidate, and it gives the elastic cross section sigma simeq 7x10^{-41} cm^2 which is required by these experiments. Our dark matter interacts with a D_6 singlet scalar Higgs boson, which couples only to quark sector. The dark matter-nucleon cross section and new decay mode h->DM DM can be large if the standard model Higgs boson h is light. The Higgs phenomenology is also discussed.
We study a supersymmetric model in which the Higgs mass, the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the dark matter are simultaneously explained with extra vector-like generation multiplets. For the explanations, non-trivial flavor structures and a singl et field are required. In this paper, we study the flavor texture by using the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism, and then find realistic flavor structures which reproduce the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and fermion masses at low energy. Furthermore, we find that the fermion component of the singlet field becomes a good candidate of dark matter. In our model, flavor physics and dark matter are explained with moderate size couplings through renormalization group flows, and the presence of dark matter supports the existence of just three generations in low energy scales. We analyze the parameter region where the current thermal relic abundance of dark matter, the Higgs boson mass and the muon $g-2$ can be explained simultaneously.

The clockwork mechanism allows extremely weak interactions and small mass scales to be understood in terms of the structure of a theory. A natural application of the clockwork mechanism is to the freeze-in mechanism for dark matter production. Here w e consider a Higgs portal freeze-in dark matter model based on a scalar clockwork sector with a mass scale which is less than the Higgs boson mass. The dark matter scalar is the lightest scalar of the clockwork sector. Freeze-in dark matter is produced by the decay of thermal Higgs bosons to the clockwork dark matter scalars. We show that the mass of the dark matter scalar is typically in the 1-10 keV range and may be warm enough to have an observable effect on perturbation growth and Lyman-$alpha$ observations. Clockwork Higgs portal freeze-in models have a potentially observable collider phenomenology, with the Higgs boson decaying to missing energy in the form of pairs of long-lived clockwork sector scalars, plus a distribution of different numbers of quark and lepton particle-antiparticle pairs. The branching ratio to different numbers of quark and lepton pairs is determined by the clockwork sector parameters (the number of clockwork scalars $N$ and the clockwork charge $q$), which could therefore be determined experimentally if such Higgs decay modes are observed. In the case of a minimal Standard Model observable sector, the combination of nucleosynthesis and Lyman-$alpha$ constraints is likely to exclude on-shell Higgs decays to clockwork scalars, although off-shell Higgs decays would still be possible. On-shell Higgs decays to clockwork scalars can be consistent with cosmological constraints in simple extensions of the Standard Model with light singlet scalars.
We show that supersymmetric Dark Force models with gravity mediation are viable. To this end, we analyse a simple string-inspired supersymmetric hidden sector model that interacts with the visible sector via kinetic mixing of a light Abelian gauge bo son with the hypercharge. We include all induced interactions with the visible sector such as neutralino mass mixing and the Higgs portal term. We perform a detailed parameter space scan comparing the produced dark matter relic abundance and direct detection cross sections to current experiments.
