We complete the calculation of the wino-nucleon scattering cross section up to the next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$. We assume that the other sparticles are decoupled and wino interacts with the Standard Model particles via the weak interaction. As a result, the uncertainties coming from the perturbative QCD are significantly reduced to be smaller than those from the nucleon matrix elements. The resultant scattering cross section is found to be larger than the leading-order one by about 70%, which is well above the neutrino background. In the limit of large wino mass the spin-independent scattering cross section with proton turns out $\sigma_{\text{SI}}^p = 2.3~{}^{+0.2}_{-0.3}~{}^{+0.5}_{-0.4}\times 10^{-47}~ \text{cm}^2$ (errors come from perturbative calculation and input parameters, respectively). The computation for a generic SU(2)$_L$ multiplet dark matter is also presented.

  1. Unveiling the Vanishing Higgsino-Nucleon Scattering in the MSSM at Next-to-Leading Order

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Near the stop-top kinematic threshold, next-to-leading-order corrections cancel the leading Higgsino-nucleon scattering amplitude, pushing the spin-independent cross section below the neutrino floor in parts of the MS...

  2. Higgs boson mass and thermal wino dark matter from Starobinsky supergravity with the MSSM

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Starobinsky supergravity coupled to the MSSM links the CMB inflationary scale to the Higgs boson mass (~125 GeV) and predicts thermal wino dark matter at ~3 TeV, testable at future colliders and direct detection experiments.

  3. Minimal Dark Matter: Generalized Framework and Direct-Detection Sensitivity

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    For Higgs-coupled minimal dark matter, the 3M2D, 5M4D, and 7M6D combinations can have direct-detection cross sections below the neutrino floor, so next-generation direct detection cannot fully exclude the model.

  4. Complementary Probes of Light Higgsinos: Electroweak Precision Measurements and Dark Matter Direct Detection

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Future electroweak precision measurements can probe light higgsinos up to 500 GeV even in compressed spectra below the neutrino fog, complementing direct detection which reaches the 1 TeV thermal relic mass.
