Описание

Data from the Large Hadron Collider lead to strong constraints on the parameter space of low-energy supersymmetry. In particular, these data practically exclude supersymmetric dark matter (DM) in the traditional cosmology. We argue that in $R^2$-modified gravity superheavy particles with the interaction strength typical for supersymmetry can be realistic candidates for the role of the carriers of dark matter. For this purpose we examined the heating of the universe at the post-inflationary stage due to decays of the scalaron into several dominant channels and calculated the cosmological density of dark matter. The constraints on the masses of DM particles are obtained for different decay modes. Possible observational manifestations of decays and annihilation of superheavy dark matter particles in the spectrum of high-energy cosmic rays are discussed.
