| contents | Despite being a simple and well-motivated thermal relic scenario, coannihilation dark matter (DM) has remained largely unexplored experimentally due to the difficulty of probing its nearly degenerate mass spectrum. Recent LHC searches, however, have significantly improved the sensitivity to such compressed spectra, motivating a reassessment of the viable parameter space. We revisit the bino-slepton coannihilation scenario in supersymmetric (SUSY) models, incorporating the latest experimental results. We first focus on the minimal scenario, in which only the bino-like neutralino and left- or right-handed sleptons are light ($O(100)$ GeV), with all other SUSY particles decoupled. We find that the dark matter mass is constrained to be in the range of about 170-420 GeV (130-430 GeV) for left-handed (right-handed) slepton coannihilation, with lower bounds set by recent LHC searches. We then investigate scenarios with light higgsino, where direct detection experiments impose strong constraints on the higgsino mass. We also discuss the implications of these constraints for the muon $g-2$ in the so-called BHR, BHL, and BLR scenarios with coannihilation DM, and find that the combined LHC and LZ limits constrain the SUSY contribution to $|Δa_μ^{\rm SUSY}|\lesssim 1.2\times10^{-9}$. |
